Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.

I hated teenagers in comics because they were always sidekicks. And I always felt if I were a superhero, there's no way I'd pal around with some teenager, you know.

Nobody likes to be preached to.

These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.

To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.

So I'm happiest when I'm working with artists and writers, and involved in stories, whether we're talking about animation or movies or comics or television.

I was in the beginning when [comic book superheroes] started, but not anymore. Now I expect it. I've gotten very used to it.
