When I got my first glimpse of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, my breath caught. In that single instant, he was Wolverine.

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.

I've never had to work out of the arts. I've always either been a writer or an editor, or something where I've made my living from doing what I love. You can't get any better than that.

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

I would like immortality.

I've had editors over the years who couldn't find a clue if it was stapled to their butt.

When I submitted samples, I had only written stories to give myself something to draw. I was told, "The art is good, but not quite professional yet. But, I like the writing." I've been a writer for almost a half a century. It's very cool.
