I never thought that Spider-Man would become the world wide icon that he is. I just hoped the books would sell and I'd keep my job.

Nobody likes to be preached to.

When you work with people whom you like and you admire because they're so good at what they do, it doesn't feel like work. It's like you're playing.

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

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

It's hard not to be enthusiastic when you like what you're doing and I love what I do. I love writing stories, I love coming up with ideas for new projects and I love the people I work with, because I work with great writers and artists and directors and actors.

Comic books to me are fairy tales for grown-ups.
