“I've always been fascinated by mythology or, in modern parlance, by X-...” — Marcus Sakey Quote

I've always been fascinated by mythology or, in modern parlance, by X-Men or vampires.

As an author, it's a strange process to watch your novel turned into a movie. It's tremendously exciting but somewhat voyeuristic; after all, novelists are rarely involved in the process.

As the Occupy Movement demonstrated, it's tough to change anything when you're talking about everything.

A decade in advertising exposed me to plenty of schemers and backstabbers. But honestly, advertising is wonderful training for fiction. Writing novels is much easier if you've ever tried to write a billboard.

My feeling is that the most dangerous people are always those who take a hardline position - and nothing inspires that sort of extremism like difference.

I love Norse mythology - Thor and Odin and Loki - amazing characters.

Indian mythology and its characters have always fascinated me and I find the antagonists especially very interesting.

The stuff that I learned on 'Sons,' the education of how to tell stories, was part of that mythology. It's hard to look at it and go, 'Oh, if I knew this, I would have done it this way,' because the fact is I like to think that all that sort of unraveled as it was supposed to.

I'm very at home working with mythology.

I am inspired by Indian mythology.
