You're always learning about yourself, if you're honest with yourself. It's very tough to be honest with yourself. We all are dishonest with ourselves, a lot of the time. We don't want to deal with something, so we compartmentalize it.

The best thing about my job is that I work with the best creative people in the business in their fields.

I've always been attracted to the characters that I didn't know anything about. If you do anything in life with passion and love, then it's worth trying.

Overcoming fear doesn't have to be skydiving, if you're afraid of heights. Overcoming fear is an everyday thing. We do it all day long.

I think every writer doubts themselves, every day. You procrastinate because you're afraid. You're always afraid it's not going to be as good as you want it to be.

I like collecting comics, I like buying comics, I like looking at comics, but I also read comics on digital readers.

We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist.

In life, there's a lot that I'm afraid of. Death is always scary. My sister passed away. I'm not scared to die, so much as I was scared to not have her in my life, and it took a long time for me to reconcile that. There are fears everyday, and things that I'm afraid of. I fear everything, but I keep going.

We always knew that we wanted to keep Atlantis off for a while and when it did show up, to make it a big story. The goal for Aquaman was to position him as an A-list character position him as an important member of the Justice League.

The more that we self-analyze ourselves, the nicer we are to people and to ourselves, and the more we understand each other.

I know a lot of people that still buy comics, go to the shop every week, I know people who read them on an iPad. My brother reads on an iPad every week, he downloads his comics every week.

Aquamen is unique in the sense that he does it without ego. He doesn't always have to be right. He's made a lot of mistakes, and he really takes those to heart.

I may not be smart enough to do everything, but I am dumb enough to try anything.
