I think any writer coming on to Batman should at least attempt to do their own definitive version. What it means to them. Whatever they think that symbol or character can say.

More quotes by Grant Morrison
I think the only way you can get something out is to invest some real emotion into it, which means you're already writing about what's going to happen to you, whether you know it or not. That's why I'm always surprised when people talk about writer's block. Because to me, it can't be stopped.
Grant Morrison
It's stupid, I know, but I care. All the things that meant so much when we were young. Under the blankets late at night, listening to long-distance radio. All those things lost now or broken. Can you remember? Can you remember that feeling? Perhaps I ought to go to a doctor.
Grant Morrison
I write constantly, so it flows from one project to the next, and I would edit everything endlessly if I had the chance. 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.
Grant Morrison
We've always known we'd eventually be called upon to open our shirts and save the day, and the superhero was a crude, hopeful attempt to talk about how we all might feel on that day of great power, and great responsibility.
Grant Morrison
Why am I in Hell? It hurts. It hurts all the time. Why am I in Hell? I just want to go home and lie on the bed the way I used to. Please take me home.
Grant Morrison
The world gets more like Disneyland every day, and it's the same the other way round. I can't explain what I know. Try explaining RED to a DOG and see how fast he gets bored.
Grant Morrison
Who needs girls when you've got comics?

Enough madness? Enough? And how do you measure madness? - The Joker
Grant Morrison
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.
Grant Morrison
Talking to oneself, I have often thought, is the best way to be sure of intelligent and witty conversation.
Grant Morrison
From now on, I'm opting for ontological terrorism.
Grant Morrison
When was the last time you had a thought that wasn't put there by THEM?
Grant Morrison
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.
Grant Morrison
This is the end of our sentence
Grant Morrison
Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.
Grant Morrison
The only thing that made me, or any of us, special was that no one in the whole of history would ever see the universe exactly the same way any other of us saw it.
Grant Morrison
Unlike novel characters, comic book characters last an eternity. When a character is changed beyond recognition, there's no longer the merchandising aspect.
Grant Morrison
Stop being frightened. You only see a monster because they want you to see monsters everywhere. They've conditioned you to look for monsters in every shadow, every coat hung on every door. As long as we keep seeing monsters, we'll continue to need protection and that's how other people get to control our lives.
Grant Morrison
There's a palace in your head, boy. Learn to live in it always.
Grant Morrison
Write comic books if you love comic books so much that you want to write them. Don't write them like movies. Comics can do a lot of things that movies can't do, and vice versa.
