A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

The curse of comic book adaptations, when I was younger, was that the director or producer would go, "Don't worry about it, it's just a comic book."

These days, it seems that if you're not already in place, you can't get there from here.

When someone writes to tell me something I've written made them laugh or cry, I've done my job and done it well. The rest is all semantics.

I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.

There are very few of us, who reach my advanced age, who are still working in the business, as writers. As artists, people can hang out longer.

In these litigious times, if you're a beginner, it's becoming harder and harder to get your work to the people who might actually be able to hire you.
