What follows are the Avengers-centric quotes:
"Every waking minute, I'm working on that script."
"This is a gig I've waited my whole life to do."
"I feel connected to this movie in that it's about a gruop of broken people. And if you look at my work, it's very clear that that's the sort of thing that appeals to me."
"All sorts of things have inspired me. For example, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down. It's the movie that made things click for me the most, because of the toll taken on them. I felt that superhero movies were a little too nihilistic or a little too clean. I want to stick the screws in and make it personal and make it tough."
"I feel when it comes to the superhero genre, it's entered its postmodern phase without getting its modern phase right."
