It's so horrible to realize you're just the same as everyone else, isn't it?

I have to confess I'm not a huge comics fan in the wider sense of comics as an art form.
Grant Morrison
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Hell changes constantly but there are certain consistent landmarks which always stay in the same relation to one another.
Grant Morrison
Image
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.
Grant Morrison
Image
These characters were like twelve-bar blues or other chord progressions. Given the basic parameters of Batman, different creators could play very different music.
Grant Morrison
Image
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
Grant Morrison
Image
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.
Grant Morrison
Image
The big problem is time. I don't have enough of it to do all the things I think about doing.
Grant Morrison
Image
There's a palace in your head, boy. Learn to live in it always.
Grant Morrison
Image
In the world of the superheroes, everything had value, potential, mystery. Any person, thing, or object could be drafted into service in the struggle against darkness and evil - remade as a weapon or a warrior or a superhero. Even a little bee named Michael - after God's own avenging angel - could pitch in to win the battle against wickedness.
Grant Morrison
Image
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
Image
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.
Grant Morrison
Image
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?
Grant Morrison
Image
Writers and artists build by hand little worlds that they hope might effect change in real minds, in the real world where stories are read. A story can make us cry and laugh, break our hearts, or make us angry enough to change the world.
Grant Morrison
Image
Reality and unreality have no clear distinction in our present circumstances.
Grant Morrison
Image
I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.
Grant Morrison
Image
We're the new power, come to replace the old. Cameras in the head, children with microchips, spin doctors rewriting reality as it happens.

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.

Afraid? Batman's not afraid of anything. It's me. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that The Joker may be right about me. Sometimes…I question the rationality of my actions. And I’m afraid that when I walk through those asylum gates... when I walk into Arkham and the doors close behind me... it’ll be just like coming home.
