What I love about the 'State of Syn' concept is that, while it's exploring science fiction, it's also trying to explore the future of film and television and the Internet, just in the nature of how they put it together and promote it and add apps and all that kind of stuff.

My love of science fiction comes from the idea of being able to explore ideas and concepts to an either logical or illogical extreme.

'Cube' was the first big science fiction film I was a part of. It was a fantastic directorial debut by one of my oldest friends Vincenzo Natali and it remains one of my most painful and uncomfortable roles. It's also one of my favorites.

The comedy and character interaction on 'Atlantis' is what makes it so different from most science fiction shows.

Despite probably needing one, I don't have a therapist. Why spend the money on my mental health when I can do far more productive things such as purchase iPhone apps and pay off parking tickets?

Every year we are greeted by a host of new apps that will 'change the way we think' about ordering takeout, 'fundamentally transform' our shoe purchases, or 'revolutionize' the way we edit photos.

My motivation has always been to do technology apps and companies, not making money. Just because the money's come, nothing's changed.

There are, in fact, apps you can use to measure how many times you check your phone, and I shudder to think how many times I check my phone. I'm sure it would be probably in the hundreds of times that I check over the course of the day.
