I always figure I'm not unique, and something that would please me hopefully would please a lot of other people that have the same tastes that I do.

I think the way you become a good storyteller is to read a lot of stories and evaluate them in your own mind.

I thought it would be fun to take the kind of character that nobody would like, none of our readers would like, and shove him down their throats and make them like him.

It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.

I don't think you ever outgrow your love for things that are bigger than life and more colorful than the average life. And somehow I feel that these comic book stories are like fairy tales for older people, because they have the same qualities.

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

Comics are stories; they're like novels or anything else. So the first thing you have to do is become a good storyteller.
