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 think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

It all depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.

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

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

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

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.
