More quotes by Frank Miller
Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here.
Frank Miller
I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights.
Frank Miller
I'm not going to complain about the fact that people are paying attention to my work. I suppose that wouldn't be fair.
Frank Miller
Of course we're Criminals
Frank Miller
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.
Frank Miller
I was always into noir. When I lived in Vermont I was drawing stuff that looked like an amateur doing 'Sin City'. When I first got to New York I was swiftly informed that they only did guys in tights.
Frank Miller
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.
Frank Miller
Mighty cultures never - are almost never conquered. They crumble from within. And frankly, I think that a lot of Americans are acting like spoiled brats because everything that isn't working out perfectly every time.
Frank Miller
Nancy's got a guardian angel. Seven feet plus of muscle and mayhem that goes by the name of Marv.
Frank Miller
The day you write to please everyone you no longer are in journalism. You are in show business.
Frank Miller
A man without hope is a man without fear.
Frank Miller
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.
Frank Miller
I prefer to write and draw in the privacy of my home and with total freedom and then take it to the lion's den.
Frank Miller
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.
Frank Miller
A gun is a liar's weapon
Frank Miller
Hollywood is a town it's not a medium. And cinema is a medium you can practice anywhere.
Frank Miller
In the world of comic books, troublemaker means someone who has some sense of dignity.
Frank Miller
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.
Frank Miller
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.
Frank Miller
The world doesn't make sense until you force it to.
Frank Miller
