I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.

Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.
Mark Millar
Image
Cookbooks are almost a substitution for a lost sense of culture. People want some other life than the one they're living, so they buy a cookbook with pictures and imagine themselves as part of that life.

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.

What I do with everything is take things out of real life. You encounter all sorts of stories. It's a lot of your friends and family, sometimes there's quite sad episodes in their life and everything. So just little things I've picked up along the years always find a way into all of my stories.

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.

Your capacity to grow determines your capacity to lead.

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.

I've done so many superhero comics, and I've actually just been really excited about sci-fi, and Chrononauts and Starlight were both sci-fi, which I had a great time doing.
Mark Millar
Image
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
Image
I'm honestly as happy writing Superman Adventures as I am writing Wanted.
Mark Millar
Image
I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.
Mark Millar
Image
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.

You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.

The past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.

The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.
