I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.

Singing a song, playing sports - anything that entertains, that takes people away from their own problems, is good.

I love recording lines. It's like being an actor without having to really act.

The movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.

Reading is very good. And you can quote me!

I'm lucky. I don't have to produce the whole movie. What I've been doing is just coming up with ideas for movies. I write a concept, a treatment, an outline, and if I sell that to a studio, then someone else does the actual production and I go on to another project, although I keep the title executive producer.

You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.
