No, but I'm really lucky, because I'm not the superhero.

But did I think it would last more than 13 episodes at the time? No, I didn't think that. I never know.

I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night.

Unfortunately, the public might not know that we get a script usually two days before shooting. So sometimes I'm shooting an episode and don't even know how it's going to end because I haven't read that yet.

I'm really obsessed with the past.

And TV is not the easiest place to be dangerous or on the edge. Especially on a Saturday night.

You know, it's a very sexist society, Indonesia.

No, but I'm really lucky, because I'm not the superhero.

The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.

I like people and get along, and I'm afraid to express my anger and my rage.

I really wanted to be born a woman. It all started there. A South American woman. And I'm upset that I was born a white Jewish male. I've been angry since.

But basically what I like are the possibilities, and the fantasy element of the show. Not science fantasy so much, but fantasy, the humanistic elements and how people relate when they're in a dire situation or comedic situation.

Well, I just wanted to be a person. I just wanted them to keep writing me as humanistic as possible.

I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.

It got a little boring I guess, playing the same note over and over.

But I used to have a bit of a gambling problem. And that would have been the answer to my prayers. It got worse when I started playing this character, too.

I used to be more of a wild kid. But I've slowed down.

But I like being nasty. I like being cranky. Especially if it's a cold day in Chicago, it's nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he's so easy to scream at, you know?

But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life.

I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist.

Knopf is solidly profitable, and that is how I intend to keep it.

Whether you want to call it God or the mystery of the cosmos doesn't matter to me.

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

I love talking about taxes.

We are not a monolithic group of individuals, not every single person believes the exact same thing.

I do think it is possible to be in love with two people at the same time.

When two people break up, it's all about them; they can't see anyone else. And the people getting smashed to bits are the kids. Then you're getting torn - your mum wants you, your dad wants you. You just get shredded. It has a long-lasting effect as well.

I'm a huge fan of Nawazuddin.

I would say that when I came into this chapter of my filmmaking career, starting with 'The Fighter,' there was this sense that you have to go from your instincts and you have to go from your gut, and you have to not hesitate and you have to not hedge.

We're not going to do a Facebook game aimed at 35-year old women about farming.

I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!

By trade, I am a software programmer, so I never really had any experience with movies before. I started out with 'Paranormal Activity.'

The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.

When I graduated high school, nearly a half-million people subscribed to 'Popular Electronics' magazine. Soldering up some radio or hi-fi amplifier on the basement workbench was not just a personal passion - a lot of young people were doing the same. The magazine expired in 1999 for lack of interest.

Step parents are not around to replace a biological parent, rather to augment a childs life experience.

We have made many glass vessels... with tubes two cubits long. These were filled with mercury, the open end was closed with the finger, and the tubes were then inverted in a vessel where there was mercury.

The czar was always sending us commands - you shall not do this and you shall not do that - till there was very little left that we might do, except pay tribute and die.

Nature conserves, prefers novelty.

World peace is one project that we have to do together.

If I had to do it all over, I'd be more secluded about it.

Jazz infers a style, but creative music has a wider field and wider specification about it. We know it from people like Scott Joplin and on through Bessie Smith.

Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.

It's interesting: I've been doing this since I was 17, and it's kind of weird to see yourself grow up on television.

Your limitations create your sound.
