Simon Kinberg

I just want to keep learning.

In the 'Days Of Future Past' comic, the aim is to go back in time to preserve peace for the lives of mutants in the future.

I love the 'Dark Knight' movies, and 'Dark Knight' and the last one are well over two hours, and I could've sat there for three and a half hours, so if it's good you have some leeway.

Part of what I love about producing is to get to work with writers.

Part of what's interesting about the 'Star Wars' world is, villains are complex, obviously, and they occupy, as in life, different roles within different organizations.

When you're actually inside the experience of writing something, in some ways, you're just writing. Ultimately, you fall in love with the characters, and you get excited about the story, and you're sitting there in your sweatpants or pajamas, and you do get a little lost in it.

Nothing lives up to what you imagine. It changes, shifts, becomes something else.

All I can say is, death is a part of life.

The biggest lesson learned from 'X-Men: The Last Stand' or 'X3' was that if you are going to tell a Phoenix story, tell the Phoenix story. Don't make it the subplot of the movie. Make it the plot of the movie.

The most important thing for me in an action sequence is, you understand the characters' intention and the challenges the characters are going to have to face: what the character story is within the action sequence.

I'm like a geek that grew up playing with Star Wars toys and creating action sequences, essentially, with toys.

Should a story be readily told in a PG-13 fashion, it should be for creative, not business, reasons.
