In this surprising way that she suddenly had these abilities that nobody knew about, and that was actually the first spark of the inspiration, this very ordinary person has this extraordinary ability that nobody knew about. <snip> One was my friend Charlie Kaufman's movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the other was "The Incredibles." I was really blown away by both movies, and I started thinking about them. In a weird way, they started to kind of meld in my mind, taking the kind of Kaufmanesque hyper-real characters, very anonymous characters, people you would pass on the street and not think twice about, and I started blending them in my mind with the premise of "The Incredibles," people trying to live ordinary lives while having these superpowers.

Cool interview. Interesting how he didn't really pursue either Hayden or Ali for the show, they just came to him. Just shows you how much bigger TV is getting!
