Things that weren’t broken, clearly not broken, where they’d go, “You know, you should try another angle. Maybe they’re not owls. Maybe it’s fish.” —Zack Snyder, on Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole [AV Club]

“I bake cakes for everybody! I leave nothing to chance. The PA that comes through, I bake him a cake — because you never know if he’ll be a writer next year.” —Keith Powell, on how he maintains good relations with the rest of the the crew on 30 Rock [PopWrap/NYP]
