If this book has made any point clear, I hope it's that things don't have to be real to be true. Or vice versa.

Enough madness? Enough? And how do you measure madness? - The Joker

When was the last time you had a thought that wasn't put there by THEM?
Grant Morrison

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

X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old. The X-Men are every rebel teenager wanting to change the world and make it better. Humanity is every adult, clinging to the past, trying to destroy the future even as he places all his hopes there.

I don't like to think of my readership as fans, a word which has always suggested a kind of power relationship I'm uncomfortable with.

I loved IRON MAN: Robert Downey Jr. has been and probably will be my favourite actor for a long time…but IRON MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, SUPERMAN RETURNS and all the others feel a little like Saturday morning cartoons next to the carbon black glory that is 'The Dark Knight.' Trust me, *this* is the future of this sort of thing.

When [Wonder Woman creator William Moulton] Marston died in 1947, they got rid of the pervy elements, and instantly sales plummeted. Wonder Woman should be the most sexually attractive, intelligent, potent woman you can imagine. Instead she became this weird cross between the Virgin Mary and Mary Tyler Moore that didn't even appeal to girls.

Hell changes constantly but there are certain consistent landmarks which always stay in the same relation to one another.

I can always see ways to improve what I've done. At the same time, knowing it's all an ongoing life's work allows me to be less precious about blind alleys, failed experiments, and misfires.

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

I write every day, for most of the day, so it's just about turning into metaphor whatever's going on in my life, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into cash via words. I use everything. Turning life into stories is how I make sense of my experience.

The only time I ever met a character that I wrote was when I met Ian McKellan, when he was playing Magneto in the 'X-Men' movies.

Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.

I have to confess I'm not a huge comics fan in the wider sense of comics as an art form.

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