I had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic... And those were all things I hated.

I don't expect every movie to be done exactly the way I would have done it.

It's just, it's fun to stay in the game.

Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.

Every day, there's a new development. ... There's no limit to the things that are happening.

All I thought about when I wrote my stories was, "I hope that these comic books would sell so I can keep my job and continue to pay the rent." Never in a million years could I have imagined that it would turn into what it has evolved into nowadays. Never.

If there are people who like the work you've done, because of that, they like you and want your autograph and to take a photo, that's really gratifying. You have to be appreciative.
