I've had some pretty good arguments with people, but I've never regretted it. I've had people come up where it's all emotion and no fact. That's always sad.

All the truly great stand-ups say, "I go onstage, and I work on jokes. The inspiration will happen while I'm doing my work." To me, in the end, the surest thing is work.

Everything we have today that's cool comes from someone wanting more of something they loved in the past. Action figures, videogames, superhero movies, iPods: All are continuations of a love that wanted more.

I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We'll see.

If the victories we create in our heads were let loose on reality, the world we know would drown in blazing happiness.

I can't say that I ever abided nerd stereotypes: I was never alone or felt outcast.

As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.
