05Undated

I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me.

I go to movies expecting to have a whole experience. If I want a movie that doesn't end, I'll go to a French movie. That's a betrayal of trust to me. A movie has to be complete within itself; it can't just build off the first one or play variations.

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 lot of anger in the Twitter-verse, as I've discovered. But there's a lot of love.

Joss Whedon / quote

13Undated

My dad would go to work every day and write in a room full of funny people. He enjoyed it. I know great writers who find the process agonising but to me, writing has always been sheer joy.
