I don't wake up in the morning and say, wow I've got a great idea for a story. But I sit down, and I figure well, let's see.

I work with people and we come up with ideas for movies, television and things like that. It's fun and I love doing it.

I have a reputation for doing superheroes, but I like all kinds of writing. In fact, hardly anybody knows this, but I've probably written as many humor stories as superhero stories.

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

That's what everybody tells me. "I would've had a great comic-book collection, but my mother made me throw them away." But when I was growing up, my mother didn't care. As long as I was reading, she didn't care if my room was filled with comics. I could have saved everything. I was just too stupid to do it.

Wives should be kissed - not heard.

I'm just somebody who tries to write things that entertain people. And if I can do it in a way that makes them prefer to emulate the good guy than the bad guy, I'm happy.
