Anytime something becomes a success in this way you always get imitators. I'm an imitator of the guys I love. I imitate people like Frank Miller, who is a huge inspiration to me.

You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.

The highest form of leadership is one in which a leader raises up other leaders - not as an accident, but as a result of conscious effort.

I'm a huge fan of the Rod Serling sci-fi, where they could take the most odd and enormous ideas but ground them in something very human.

Oddly, I think if you look at comic books, you look at the shelves in the store, it's predominantly male characters, historically. But if you look outside the window it's 52-percent female, and something odd is going on there. So I do think it's your responsibility as a writer, really, to create stuff that little girls can get into too. I want my daughters to have role models that are female.

Jesus, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spider-Man?
