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."

I would like immortality.

I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. I have spent a lifetime doing what I love.

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 think every time you take a female character, a black character, a Hispanic character, a gay character, and make that the point of the character, you are minimalizing the character.

In general, shorter is better. If you can encapsulate your idea into a single captivating sentence, you're halfway home.

I hate the crazy, neurotic characters beyond a certain point.
