“There's a way in which filmmaking is a director's medium and television is a writer's medium, so even as TV gets more cinematic, it's still guided by the writer.”

“There's a natural human compulsion to chase after freedom and then to actually hand it over as fast as possible and get away from it.”

“I had been trying to make movies, but they were really hard to get made. TV wound up, by surprise, a much more fulfilling place to work. That said, I've always been drawn to make movies.”

“I find movies rely upon dialogue too much sometimes, and you lose the power of what really the most basic cinematic language is, which is the visual language.”

“I could make the title of my memoirs: 'It's got cinematic disaster written all over it.'”

“One of the things I think is important about 'Watchmen' is that it have resonance within cinematic pop culture as well as superhero culture.”
