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'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.

Some artists, such as Jack Kirby, need no plot at all. I mean I'll just say to Jack, "Let's let the next villain be Dr. Doom" ... or I may not even say that. He may tell me. And then he goes home and does it. He's so good at plots, I'm sure he's a thousand times better than I. He just makes up the plots for these stories. All I do is a little editing ... I may tell him that he's gone too far in one direction or another. Of course, occasionally I'll give him a plot, but we're practically both the writers on the things.

We're living in a world where everything moves very quickly. We've become a very visual society, so I think it's a very natural thing that people are captivated with the illustrations in a story.

I'm not a guy who gets inspirations.

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.

Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
