I'm still a fanboy geek. I always will be. In many ways, if my work still resonates with the audience, it's because I'm still writing from the point of view of the fan, so I'm geeked out constantly.

Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.

I'm a neurotic New York Jew by birth. Creating characters is second nature to me.

The most unrealistic thing I've ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don't believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.

If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.

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

I try not to violate what came before me and to leave lots of wiggle room for those who will follow.
