It didn't take a trauma to make you wear a mask. It didn't take your parents getting shot...or cosmic rays or a power ring...Just the perfect combination of loneliness and despair.

More quotes by Mark Millar
Others control our opportunities, we control our readiness.
Mark Millar
The past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.
Mark Millar
Wanted has gone into second, third and fourth printings of the individual issues and the north American printings of Wanted #1 are now close to 100,000.
Mark Millar
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.
Mark Millar
I'm just running through this list of potential nannies and wondered if we should go for a superhero this time. Do you think Wolverine would be interested? He seems to be on every other team right now.
Mark Millar
I don't know, maybe it's just timely, or maybe it's the fact that I live in a house with four women, but I just find my thoughts kind of skewing that direction at the moment.
Mark Millar
The animated books pay the lowest rates at the Big Two and you can forget about royalties.
Mark Millar
Leaders don't ever arrive. If we ever think we're done, we are done!
Mark Millar
Ever since 1980, sci-fi has generally been more Bladerunner than Star Wars. People talk about Star Wars being the most influential movie of all time and creating the blockbuster along with Jaws and that sort of thing, but really there's not been a space opera that anyone can go and see.
Mark Millar
I love the fact that they [girls ]are into Superman and Green Lantern and Batman and everything, and they really do have all those toys as well, but I don't want all their role models to be men.
Mark Millar
Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence.
Mark Millar
Maybe in this Star Wars world maybe subconsciously I was preparing myself. But I've just found all of my ideas I've been coming up with are big sci-fi things, and I wanted to do a big epic, a big space opera, and this is it. This is mine.
Mark Millar
Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.
Mark Millar
The heart is a muscle, and you strengthen muscles by using them. The more I lead with my heart, the stronger it gets.
Mark Millar
I'm very lucky that I have this other career that runs alongside my comic career, which is a film career, and I've been given this really lovely setup where they seem to make the movies very quickly as well.
Mark Millar
The ultimate [act] that would be the taboo, to show how bad some villain is, was to have somebody being raped, you know? I don't really think it matters. It's the same as, like, a decapitation. It's just a horrible act to show that somebody's a bad guy.
Mark Millar
First, believe in your ability to create the future. That's what leaders do-that is our job. Understand reality but never be imprisoned by it. Reality is a moment in time. The future has not yet been written-it is written by leaders.
Mark Millar
In the U.S., Superman or Batman or something, the law-enforcement people, are the most famous comic characters. Americans have a respect, I think, for badges and a respect for uniforms. I think that's, in some ways, quite a nice thing, but it can be dangerous, too, because it can obviously be abused.
Mark Millar
All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.
Mark Millar
Artists, no matter how good their intentions, are always slower than they think.
