I'm happiest when I'm working. If I'm not working, I feel like I'm wasting my time.

I think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.

I love Marvel and the people there. Im glad I m still part of it.

I think people are interested in anything that's a little bigger than life and that's colorful and - you know, what they like? They like fairy tales for grownups.

I had a publisher who felt comics were just for little kiddies, so he never wanted me to use words of more than two syllables.

If Shakespeare and Michelangelo were alive today, and if they decided to collaborate on a comic, Shakespeare would write the script and Michelangelo would draw it. How could anybody say that this wouldn't be as worthwhile an artform as anything on earth?

I thought it would be great to do superheroes that have the same kind of life problems that any reader - that anybody could have.
