I never tried to write for other people. I liked people who had problems I might have, because we all have insecurities, regrets. I like heroes who were not 100-percent perfect, who things to take care of.

If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.

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

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

People are pissed off about the seemingly impossible goal of social mobility. their proposed solution is to take the wheels off the cart.

It's the fact that fans still care. I like all the comics conventions: The smaller ones are easier, the bigger ones are exciting.... Each one I say: Never again. But they're all great.... These things are important because they keep the fans' interest alive in comics. They keep the fans reading and their imaginations stimulated.

I don't sound disloyal, but I've never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet.
