Hire People You Get Along With, And

One Person's Magical Thinking Is Another Person's Cynicism.

I Feel Like The Big Twist Shows Are Now Off The Table. I Think Westworld Was Probably The Last One To Trojan Horse This Idea Of The Young Man In Black. They Were Doing Non-linear Storytelling, But Disguising It. Jonah Nolan And Lisa Joy Have Spoken Openly About How They Just Didn't Think People Were Going To Figure It Out That Fast.

As Cliched As It Sounds, If You Have An Original Voice And An Original Idea, Then No Matter What Anybody Says, You Have To Find A Way To Tell That Story.

I'm Trying To Focus As Much On The Here And Now As Possible. To Live My Life In A Way That The Humans That I Know Here On The Planet Earth Feel Like They've Been Treated With Respect By Me, Whether They're People That I'm Very Close To Or The Audience Who's Watching My Work.

I Can't Live My Life Under The Sort Of "i Cannot Fail" Philosophy, Because Then Every Time I Do Fail, Which Feels More Inevitable Than Me Being Perfect All The Time, It's Going To Be Soul Crushing. And More Importantly, I'll Never Take Any Risks.
