Quote

Comic-book pages are vertical, and movie screens are relentlessly horizontal. But it's all the same form. We use different tools, but we get the job done. I'm completely in love with CGI. It's great for conveying a cartoonist's sense of reality.

In the world of comic books, troublemaker means someone who has some sense of dignity.

She doesn't quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.

My Sin City heroes are knights in dirty, blood-caked armor. They bring justice to a world that gives them no medals, no praise, no reward. That world, that city, often kills them for their brave service.

What I want to bring back to superheroes with this project is a sense of play. Things have gotten so dreary. The heroes have gotten so ugly that even their muscles have muscles.

When you have a brush in your hand, inking a beautiful woman is a lot like running your hands over her.

I think most things I read on the Internet and in newspapers are propaganda. Everyone from the 'New York Times' to Rupert Murdoch has a point of view and is putting forth their own propaganda. They're stuck with the facts as they are, but the way they interpret and frame them is wildly different.

You can never escape me. Bullets don't harm me. Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I KNOW pain. Sometimes I share it. With someone like you.

The day you write to please everyone you no longer are in journalism. You are in show business.

In a way, 'Sin City''s designed to be paced somewhere between an American comic book and Japanese manga. Working in black and white, I realized that the eye is less patient, and you have to make your point, and sometimes repeat it. Slowing things down is harder in black and white, because there isn't as much for the eye to enjoy.

I'll make it. I won't die. I've got too much I have to do to let myself die.

Nancy's got a guardian angel. Seven feet plus of muscle and mayhem that goes by the name of Marv.

A screenwriter is much like being a fire hydrant with a bunch of dogs lined up around it.

I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.

Hollywood is a town it's not a medium. And cinema is a medium you can practice anywhere.

3,000 of my neighbors were murdered. My country was, utterly unprovoked, savagely attacked. I wish all those responsible for the atrocity of 9/11 to burn in Hell.

Comics are so full of amazing work. And I can’t look at a drawing of a woman without thinking of, for instance, Wallace Wood and his amazing way of capturing beauty.

Image
I guess in my own egotistical way I like to create my own library of Batman books that doesn't run contrary to a single thing that has been published before, but it also stands on its own.
Frank Miller
Image
I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.

I can tell you squat about Islam. I don’t know anything about it. But I know a goddamn lot about al Qaeda and I want them all to burn in hell.
