I think I just have a natural operatic aesthetic. I can't help it.

The difference between 'Watchmen' and a normal comic book is this: With 'Batman's Gotham City,' you are transported to another world where that superhero makes sense; 'Watchmen' comes at it in a different way, it almost superimposes its heroes on your world, which then changes how you view your world through its prism.

I always say, I'm certain I changed 'Watchmen' less than the Coen brothers changed 'No Country for Old Men.' I'm certain of it. But you don't hear the Cormac McCarthy fans, like, up in arms about it. They should be. It's like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

When Reality is a prison, Your mind can set you free.

I heard one time that the Superman glyph is the second or third most recognizable symbol on Earth after the Christian cross.

You know, it's a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say 'make that real.'

I love comic books - maybe to a fault sometimes.
