We're the new power, come to replace the old. Cameras in the head, children with microchips, spin doctors rewriting reality as it happens.

All I know is that you won't come back until they're all dead. 'Eternity.' Every last one of them. Every man. Every woman. Every child. Global massacre. I dream about that day. A planet of corpses

I was a clubber in the Nineties. I went dancing every week.

I love 'Batman.' I love the Adam West 'Batman.' I love the animated 'Batman.' The character of Batman can encompass any interpretation, which is what makes that character so brilliant and why it's survived so many different media.

I just wanted all the wars to be over so that we could spend the money on starships and Mars colonies.

With Marvel and DC, you're working with their pre-established fictional universes and characters. At those places, you're working with characters who will outlive you and maybe your children and your childern's children. Batman will outlive me, Spider-Man will outlive me, the Avengers will outlive me, and so it goes.

It’s mostly just you have to convince yourself that there’s nothing else in the room but John Lennon and suddenly things start John Lennon-ing!

The moon is so beautiful. It's a big silver dollar, flipped by God. And it landed scarred side up, see? So He made the world.

The big problem is time. I don't have enough of it to do all the things I think about doing.

There's a palace in your head, boy. Learn to live in it always.

The perfect fascist state needs to operate in conditions of perpetual warfare. Have you ever noticed how the world has been in constant crisis since World War II?

These characters were like twelve-bar blues or other chord progressions. Given the basic parameters of Batman, different creators could play very different music.

Truth speaks best in the language of poetry and symbolism, I think.

Whatever you do, make sure you go right to the top, because you sure as hell can't piss upwards on people.

And I ask him why he cuts his arms with a razor. Just fo feel. Just to feel something.

I prefer working out of strict continuity, because no normal human being can have a firm grip on the constantly shifting bardo-like territory of a comics universe, where entire histories can be erased by a strong enough super-sneeze.

Abandon the 'I', because it's a lie.
