I love how 'Misfits' is a drama-comedy.

I have a great relationship with everyone at Lucasfilm and with Kiri Hart.

I am very sensitive about characters being annoying in movies.

Superhero movies have become a genre unto themselves, and I didn't really grow up on superhero movies. I grew up on genre movies before superhero was a genre.

You can't have the word 'fantasy' or 'fantastical' without a contrast. It has to stem from a grounded experience.

In this day and age, people have come to expect that artists are going to give everybody information on Twitter about what they're doing, but not every artist is like that. I'm not really like that.

I knew that this was going to be questioned and it was going to come under skepticism as to why I left 'Star Wars'.

I was told about 'Misfits' when we were in prep for 'Chronicle', and I wanted to watch it badly because I'm a fan of that kind of stuff. But I stopped myself because I was very careful about not getting too much contemporary influence.

'Bowling For Columbine' and 'Gus Van Sant's Elephant' really intrigued me. With 'Bowling For Columbine', I think Michael Moore just gave the perfect exploration of both the mass media interpretation of the event and going into the minds of these kids. These were messed-up kids who had hit a point of no return.

By the way, I have had zero press training.

Filmmakers have to really find a unique take on something if they're going to explore an already-explored genre of movies.

I feel like we're going to see a lot more movies that mix documentary style with fiction, more along the lines of 'District 9.'

Most superheroes are painted with a specific moral objective that makes them who they are. And that moral objective influences everything they do, so there's an expectation for what you're going to see out of a certain character.

We live in a time where there's a required instant gratification from audiences. That's a fun challenge in terms of putting together this teaser, picking and choosing how much you're actually giving away.

'Fast Times At Ridgemont High' is one of my favorite movies; it's a film that's a human comedy, it's a drama, and the characters all, in a way, fit the teenage archetypes, but they don't become stereotypes because each of the actors brought their own presence and their own personality to the screen.

I had a condition called gynecomastia -- I had really big man-boobs, and I got a surgery for it.

I ended up losing weight and going through a lot of stuff, but yeah, that is so much of my life and my past. I'm glad that I went through that because I don't think I would be where I am now if I hadn't gone through it. It spills over in most of my love for movies and being alone.

In older science fiction stories, they had to rely on storytelling as opposed to spectacle. The old run of the 'Twilight Zone,' the star was the writing and the storytelling, and the characters and the twists and the cleverness in the setup and payoff and execution.

To me the most important thing is a good story, though I know how cliche that sounds.

When I was in middle school and high school, I was over 100 pounds overweight.
