- "I’d love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction."
- "I think when you’re 10 years old, it’s too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things."
- "One of my favorite things about ‘Star Trek’ wasn’t just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality."
