People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
J. Michael StraczynskiThere's a lot of comics writers out there whose work I appreciate and who are nice guys. I really want to work with guys I really respect and enjoy.
J. Michael StraczynskiFollow your passion. The rest will attend to itself. If I can do it, anybody can do it. It's possible. And it's your turn. So go for it. It's never too late to become what you always wanted to be in the first place.
J. Michael StraczynskiI'm all for teaching creation and allowing prayers in schools, as soon as scholars begin teaching Darwinism and geometry in church.
J. Michael StraczynskiEvery time I got 'Amazing Spider-Man' or 'Fantastic Four' or another book firmly on the rails, we got pulled into some big event book or crossover and it cost momentum and messed badly with the pacing and structure of the book.
J. Michael StraczynskiIf thereโs any other message in this to readers, itโs in these two characters as icons of hope, that it doesnโt make any difference where you come from, or where you went to school, or who you are, thereโs hope. That a kid from Jersey with Superman as the icon that kept him alive for years would one day end up writing the character is as absoutely unlikely as it is utterly inevitable. And if thatโs true for me, itโs true for you, if you follow your dreams and your passions in full flight. Donโt give up. No Limits. Itโs never too late to learn to fly.
