I'm a very hard-line, angry atheist. Yet I am fascinated by the concept of devotion. |
I'm probably going to turn it in in a few days. It's coming along. ... There will be all of the expected stuff. Of course there will be the bracelets; there will be the invisible jet, the lasso, all of that. |
In the case of both Buffy and Firefly , it was almost a case of devising a language, |
In TV the attitude is: 'Tell me what we have and we'll build around that,' ... Feature filmmaking seems more like, 'Give me everything and then I'll choose.' |
It is, in an unprecedented sense, your movie. So, it if sucks, it's your fault. |

James suddenly seemed to have his guitar *all* the time and at the drop of a hat...or even with no hat, he'd play. |
Let's say it's a good jumping off point, |
Like Pain, fear can be controlled |
Loneliness is about the scariest thing out there. |
