More quotes by J. Michael Straczynski
We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.
J. Michael Straczynski
It is not for the gods to decide whether or not Man exists - it is for Man to decide whether or not the gods exist.
J. Michael Straczynski
When you walk into a movie theater, you don't walk out half-way through, and then come back the next day to watch the rest of it.
J. Michael Straczynski
I want to have time. When you're doing a monthly book, you're like a man racing after a bus. You're breathless and red-faced. I want to build in quality control.
J. Michael Straczynski
I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.
J. Michael Straczynski
Stage-persona notwithstanding, I'm extremely shy and quiet. Almost painfully shy. People misinterpret that as being above it all or not interested.
J. Michael Straczynski
Understanding is a three-edged sword. Your side, my side, and the truth.
J. Michael Straczynski
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind.
J. Michael Straczynski
Whenever you can bring your chops in as a reporter to unearth a cool story, that's always a good thing.
J. Michael Straczynski
On the Internet, inside information is currency, and there will always be counterfeiters among us.
J. Michael Straczynski
There can always be new beginnings... even for people like us.
J. Michael Straczynski
When the Seinfeld show said it was going to be a show about nothing, everybody said it couldn't - wouldn't work. It did. Thor is about something, about that character finding his destiny, but it's not doing what was expected... and yet it's doing very well.
J. Michael Straczynski
All love is unrequited. All of it.
J. Michael Straczynski
Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't accept your compliment. You see, I'm an atheist, so if I'm also God, that would mean that I don't believe in myself, and at this point in my life, I don't need the added insecurity.
J. Michael Straczynski
I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.
J. Michael Straczynski
I can easily come up with ten really iconic stories/trade paperbacks for Superman, Batman, others... name me ten equally big, iconic Wonder Woman stories. Much harder. That ain't the character's fault, that isn't sexism, that's just not servicing the character.
J. Michael Straczynski
Greatness is never appreciated in youth, called pride in midlife, dismissed in old age, and reconsidered in death. Because we cannot tolerate greatness in our midst, we do all we can do destroy it.
J. Michael Straczynski
I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same the wellspring is the same in both cases.
J. Michael Straczynski
I don't need to write comics for a living. I have movies and TV for that. I write comics for one reason and one reason only: I love comics. I love the form, the structure, the storytelling process, I love everything about it.
J. Michael Straczynski
On a purely personal level, it's very strange, because as a kid, Superman informed my personality. Now I've been given the job of forming Superman's personality and, in some ways, drawing on my own background.
