I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg. I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic. What I want to do is take whatever cinema is considered normal or successful at a particular time and play around with it, to use it as a way of luring audiences in. ~Terry Gilliam

My dad in particular, I tend to use; I call him "The Brain." If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain.

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina
