Every time I’m at AMC, and I pass a screening of YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING getting out, I see large groups of people in deep conversation about the film. The theatrical experience. Love to see it.

Impossible to sum up what a powerhouse he was as an actor. The fact that he'd play not one but two incredibly iconic, beloved characters for decades, who we never really wanted to see him say goodbye to, is a testament to the impression he made and impact he left. RIP to the great Patrick Stewart.

"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived.”
Farewell.
Farewell.

Never thought I’d see my work in Rolling Stone! Really happy to be part of this interview alongside so many great creators from DC’s Absolute line. It’s a lovely piece, and I’m grateful to be included. Thanks Christopher Cruz.

The alternate universe series is grim, political, and more popular than anything else in 20 years.

This election is our last chance to at least rein in some of the foolishness of this Administration.
We need real leadership with concrete plans to lower costs, make health care more affordable, make housing more affordable, and get utility bills under control.
