Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.

Dr. Banner, your work is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous, green rage monster.

I like horror; I like comedy; I like drama; I like action; I like female heroes.

I eat 'The Walking Dead' like its made of brains. Can't even watch the show, I love the book so much.

You either have to write or you shouldn't be writing. That's all.

My deal with Marvel is I have a consulting deal with them as well as a contract to make 'Avengers.' That means I'll read all the scripts, I'll look at cuts.

I'm not big on regret; I don't spend a lot of time on it.

We need narrative; it feeds us in a particular way, and deconstructing it completely before you've actually experienced it, I think it leaves us unfed.

The first lesson a watcher learns is to separate truth from illusion. Because in the world of magicks, it's the hardest thing to do.

You can't just throw people at all your problems, dear.

Whatever makes you weird, is probably your greatest asset.

Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary.

Lockheed! You found me! You are the best X-Dragon ever.

I was never a games night guy, but at some point, social interaction starts to freak me out. So when there's a point, it's easier for me to see the people I love and hang out and try to have fun.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. Maybe I'm a cult figure?

I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.

There's not going to be a 'Buffy' season nine on television.

Kristen Stewart is kind of captivating; she can just stare at stuff and it works because I still want to watch it.

TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage.

She's terse. I can be terse. Once, in flight school, I was laconic.

The secret to multitasking is that it isn't actually multitasking. It's just extreme focus and organization.

I always want to make sure I'm telling a story about people that I care about.

Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can.

I never give up on anything, because you come back around, and suddenly the thing you thought you'd never do is relevant.

'Buffy' is about growing up. 'Angel' is really about already having grown up, dealing with what you've done, and redemption.

It is the most fun I'm ever going to have. I love to write. I love it. I mean, there's nothing in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it. It's the greatest peace when I'm in a scene, and it's just me and the character, that's it, that's where I want to live my life.

Every time you work on a project, it's a little vacation from the project you're working on the other 23 hours. That's the thing - it replenishes you to do something else.

I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.

I mean, I knew I wasn't a nice person, but what did I do in my past life to deserve this? I must have hit a bus full of nuns while driving a stolen car on my way to selling drugs to schoolchildren!

Contradiction is the seed of conciousness. I knew, from the pain of contradiction, that I was. And what I was.

I don't have a ton of enemies. I get along with people pretty well when I'm not annoying them to death.

The way a musical can make us feel is unlike anything else, in song and particularly in dance. I think people fly through plate-glass windows when they get shot because movies don't have dance scenes any more. This is what we do instead.

If you can't run, you crawl. If you can't crawl-- you find someone to carry you.

You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed, walk it off.

Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.

To read makes our speaking English good.

If every vampire who said he was at The Crucifixion, was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock . . .

The English Language is my bitch. Or I don't speak it very well. Whatever.

The two things that matter the most to me: emotional resonance and rocket launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant show, and often made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers.

The more you can create a structure by which people live in a fantastical situation and by which they will act, and the more you lay that out for the audience, the more they will feel at home in it.

My mom and dad were divorced, and although they got along very well, my mom thought American television was reprehensible, so I was raised on the BBC. I kind of agreed with her. We watched American news, though.

There's a time and place for everything, and I believe it's called 'fan fiction'.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn.

I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, 'I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change.' Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so.

Someone else's loss is my chocolatey goodness.

If somebody comes up to me, it's because they're moved by something I'm moved by. I've never taken a job I didn't love... So when somebody's coming up to me, or they're writing, they're in the same space I am in.

I'll always protect what I'm working on. Which is why more and more of it is stuff only I can ruin.

When I say, ‘I love you,’ it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a person.

I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people.
