I've always been a science fiction fan since I had understood the conception of what a story was.

Coming from TV and film, rule number one is that you always service the main character first and foremost. If that's not working, you've got nothing.

There was a point when comics were considered to be mainly of interest to kids, and it was decided that kids could relate more to someone their own age than an adult. So suddenly all these previously grownup comics were lousy with sidekicks: Aquagirl, Aqualad, Robin, Kid Flash, Speedy, Stripesy... the list goes on.

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

When you walk into a movie theater, you don't walk out half-way through, and then come back the next day to watch the rest of it.

There'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.

I don't start writing a script until I can see it all in my head, then it's a matter of getting it down in white heat.
