- Geek
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love doing research. I'm a film-school geek.
- Nov 07, 2020
All writing is the same: It's just making up lies until it starts to sound like the truth. That's what I do.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The biggest inspiration for everything I do is, of course, my wife, playwright Ruth McKee.
- Cats
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like animal sidekicks. They seem to be a pretty cool trope of post-apocalyptic fiction - just because if you're going to have this lone protagonist, they're going to need someone to talk to. Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up with a sister I was very close with and a mom who was a powerful influence on my life. I was always close with women.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I've never abandoned.
- Film And TV
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As much as I'm enjoying stuff out here in Hollywood, I will always think of myself as a comic-book writer who does film and television, not a film and TV writer who occasionally does comics.
- Earth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always seen 'Y' as an unconventional romance between a boy and his protector. It was always about the last boy on Earth becoming the last man on Earth, and the women who made that possible.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love other movies that have been made since, but I think more than any comic book movie, 'Superman' just totally seemed to capture superheroes in ways that others have not.
- Fans
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fans of my books have just been supremely nice.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember when I was a kid and I would go to the comic-book store, I would have no idea what was going on in that month's issues. Sometimes I wouldn't even know what comics were coming out until I walked into the store.
- Moon
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again.
- Confused
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never want readers to be comfortable, to feel like we're in a comedy or a drama. Life is never just one of those things. Life is a balance of all those things.
- Attempting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
By the time you have your protagonist attempting to assassinate the Pope, you've sort of signaled that everything is on the table.
- Cool
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's cool because I think 'Ex Machina' is a little bit under the radar, which is always when I do my best work - when I feel like no one's paying attention.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even though I was trained in play writing and screenwriting, when I sat down to write a comic book for the first time, Alan Moore was first and foremost in my mind.
- Imagination
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I sort of jumped out of movies and into the lifeboat of comics. I loved it right away. It was the opposite of film school. Whatever was in my imagination could end up in the finished product. There were just no limitations.
- My Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was embarrassingly well-versed in Marvel lore, so it was pretty easy to slip into that world. But really, already, by the time I'd started writing superhero comics, my dream was really to be writing my own characters.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never liked working on editorial-driven comics. I just didn't see what was the point. They don't pay well enough for me to write other people's ideas.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.
- Identity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to write a story about a future where everyone has a secret identity, in part because the Internet no longer exists.
- Comics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Print and digital comics will always coexist.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a lot of arcane shipping reasons, new comics, even digital ones, have a long history of only being released on Wednesdays.
- Handled
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well.
- Because
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because it's in and about New York City, I knew 'Ex Machina' was going to have to continually mix the mundane and the fantastic.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never like to talk about my own politics, but whether you're left, right or center, the 2008 race was definitely good drama.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm totally open to it being a movie or a television series or whatever, but truthfully, if no one wants to do it right, I'm also happy for 'Ex Machina' to only ever exist as a comic book.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think anything connects with an audience as deeply as a long-form serialized drama, and much as I love television, I've always found a good ongoing comics series to be much more immersive.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I wrote 'Runaways,' I was a naive kid who thought that all parents were evil. Now that I'm a wise old man with children of my own, I am certain that all parents are evil.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Having children changes you forever, as a writer and as a human being. I hope it's for the better on both counts, but I guess we'll see.
- Now
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'
