Face front, true believers!
With great power there must also come – great responsibility.
Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn’t even know his name today.
I guess one person can make a difference.
Technology isn’t a villain. Technology should help, but if you just use the technology for the sake of technology, then you’re cheating your audience. You’re not giving them the best story and the best direction and so forth.
Comic books to me are fairy tales for grown-ups.
My biggest regret is that I don’t really have time to read.
We all wish we had super powers. We all wish we could do more than we can do.
The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.
Your humans slaughter each other because of the color of your skin, or your faith or your plitics – or for no reason at all – too many of you hate as easily as you draw breath. – Magneto.
I have a reputation for doing superheroes, but I like all kinds of writing. In fact, hardly anybody knows this, but I’ve probably written as many humor stories as superhero stories.
When you work with people whom you like and you admire because they’re so good at what they do, it doesn’t feel like work. It’s like you’re playing.
I had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic. And that was the thing I hated.
To me, writing is fun. It doesn’t matter what you’re writing, as long as you can tell a story.
There’s never a time when I’m not working. I don’t take vacations.
To be honest, when I was writing these stories a million years ago, I never thought about movies at all one way or another. It would have seemed almost miraculous for these things to be movies someday. To me, they were just comic books that I hoped would sell so I could keep my job.
The thing to me that’s fun is trying to make the characters seem believable, or realistic. And it’s especially challenging when you’re doing fantasy stories, when you’re doing superhero types of things.
