I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.

I don't really have any great interest in writing for movies. Comics, to me, is a much more promising field. There's still a lot of ground to be broken in comics, whereas movies, to a degree... I don't know. They're a wonderful art form, but they're not my favorite art form. They might not even be in the top five of my favorite art forms.

The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.

It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.

I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.

There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important.

In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.

When I hear alcoholics talk about having their demons, I think that they're probably absolutely literally correct.

If you give me a typewriter and I'm having a good day, I can write a scene that will astonish its readers. That will perhaps make them laugh, perhaps make them cry - that will have some emotional clout to it. It doesn't cost much to do that.

I didn't really sign up to be a celebrity, I only signed up to be a writer.

I suppose that the main drive is to find the edge of something and then throw myself over it.

You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.

There's always been this feedback between comics and films. But I think that if you take that analogy too far, if you only see comic books in terms of films, then eventually the best we can end up with is films that don't move. It would make us a poor relation to the movie industry.

It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.

With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty.

There has been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller's work for quite a long time.

Rorschach: Used to come here often, back when we were partners. Dreiberg: Oh. Uh, yeah... yeah, those were great times, Rorschach. Great times. Whatever happened to them? Rorschach: [exiting] You quit.

I am not saying people should not be free to join whichever reason they choose but should we be forced to live our lives around a belief system that originated somewhere around the fourth or fifth century BC. I cannot see any more reason to base a belief system around Christianity, Judaism or Islam than I can around Lord of the Rings.

It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.

My main point about films is that I don't like the adaptation process, and I particularly don't like the modern way of comic book-film adaptations, where, essentially, the central characters are just franchises that can be worked endlessly to no apparent point.
