If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.

I always sympathized with the people who did work for hire; I was one of them.

When writing, I model all the heroes after myself. Of course, it's hard to make them quite as wonderful as I am, but I come as close as I can.

Once you get the script, you then hope you can get the director that you want. Then you hope he can get the cast he wants. Again, you can go quickly or there can be a million stumbling blocks. There's just no way to know.

You can't kill a good comic book series.

In fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.

Usually, the biggest hang-up is the script. You could have a script done in six months that you love, or it could be like The Fantastic Four it's been almost 10 years.
