Quotes

  • The titles that other people have made that I look up to the most are the ones that - as you get to know this world over numerous episodes and you get to understand what's going on with the characters - take on a greater resonance, and speak more to what's at the core of these characters and what their experience is of the world.
  • I love any chance we get to engage with something that's iconic - to do something with the Statue of Liberty, or with the crucifix. These kinds of icons carry a lot of power and everyone brings their own personal experience to them. When you get to play with them, to disrupt them and to put them on screen in different ways - that's an opportunity we seize whenever it comes up.
  • On adapting "American Gods": The book is iconic and fantastic - and more than that, I just think that religion is such an interesting, loaded, personal subject to be dealing with. We wanted the chance to play with the symbols that are powerful and very sacred, that require an enormous amount of respect in the way you engage with them, but that are also there to be challenged.
  • Symmetry is something that I find really interesting - playing with symmetry, setting it up, and then breaking it.
