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.

To me everything is fun. I've started Twittering or tweeting recently and that's been fun.

I'm practically an actor. Even when you do an interview, it's like you're performing a little bit, so yeah, I'm enjoying it, it's fun.

I think superheroes are bigger than life and they're very colorful.

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

The more you read, the better you're going to become as a storyteller.

To my way of thinking, whether it's a superhero movie or a romance or a comedy or whatever, the most important thing is you've got to care about the characters. You've got to understand the characters and you've got to be interested. If the characters are interesting, you're half-way home.
