I think, because…well, I like the idea of coming up with a story that never existed before, but I don’t really want to be in charge. I don’t want to be famous. I guess I like the idea of sitting in the dark and knowing that I created the thing on screen, that it’s my story, but, like, no-one else has to know it was me. Does that make sense? Melissa Keil
About This Quote

The quote "I think, because…well, I like the idea of coming up with a story that never existed before, but I don’t really want to be in charge. I don’t want to be famous. I guess I like the idea of sitting in the dark and knowing that I created the thing on screen, that it’s my story, but, like, no-one else has to know it was me. Does that make sense?" is a great explanation of who Zack Snyder is as an artist and how he thinks about his work.

He often works on projects where he creates characters or stories that are completely original. Snyder is not famous for his work but rather for being the guy who created Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Snyder never wanted to be famous for creating something new and unique.

He wanted to create something new but not new enough for others to think he stole or copied someone else's ideas. For him, "coming up with a story that never existed before" was not only satisfying creatively but also allowed him to escape the limelight of being known as Batman v Superman's director.
