More quotes by Brian K. Vaughan
I've always thought of fantasy as a genre of best-case scenarios, and horror as a genre of worst-case scenarios.
Brian K. Vaughan
Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.
Brian K. Vaughan
I know I'm a grumpy old man, but I'm always more delighted by readers talking about the actual comics than people talking about how eager they are to have their favorite comics be elevated into another medium. Adaptations are great, but for me, comics have always been the destination, not a stepping-stone to get somewhere else.
Brian K. Vaughan
Comics are essentially films with fewer frames per second.
Brian K. Vaughan
You'd never be able to convince someone to give you money to do a bilingual story where you're not translating half of it - you'd drive people crazy. But in comics, you can do whatever your heart desires.
Brian K. Vaughan
Once upon a time, each of us was somebody's kid. Everyone had a father, even if he never provided anything more than his seed. Everyone had a mother, even if she had to leave us on a stranger's doorstep. No matter how we're eventually raised, all of our stories begin the exact same way. They all end the same, too.
Brian K. Vaughan
In film, you have the luxury of accomplishing what you need in 24 frames every second. Comics, you only have five or six panels a page to do that.
Brian K. Vaughan
I'm really happiest living life 22 pages at a time and putting things in little boxes on pages.
Brian K. Vaughan
How is it possible that our parents lied to us? Lets see: Santa, the Tooth Fairy,the Easter bunny,um, God. You're the prettiest kid in school. This wont hurt a bit. Your face will freeze like that... Everythings going to be alright.
Brian K. Vaughan
I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls. There was just this sense that all these young women knew there were openings here to be the first of their kind.
Brian K. Vaughan
There's a lot of fiction from that period that we're nostalgic for.
Brian K. Vaughan
I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.
Brian K. Vaughan
I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.
Brian K. Vaughan
There's a lot of dark stuff from the '80s that we don't think about.
Brian K. Vaughan
But nothing warps time quite like childhood
Brian K. Vaughan
It's just people who grew up in that time are suddenly old enough to be creators themselves, but I think they have a little perspective. I'm 40 now, and I have children of my own. Before I forget my own childhood completely, I want to take some time to take a look at the '80s and think back.
Brian K. Vaughan
They hurt you. You hurt 'em back. Or maybe it is the other way around. Whatever. Someday you might find a way to forgive each other. But it won't be like it used to 'cause that pain never really goes away.
Brian K. Vaughan
There's just something about that late '80s that suddenly feels like it has something to teach us.
Brian K. Vaughan
I'm just grateful to finally be telling a story with all females at the lead.
Brian K. Vaughan
Comics brought me to the dance. It'll always be my first loyalty.
