More quotes by 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
The books are all very, very different so the publishers really had to be different too.
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
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 past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.
Mark Millar
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.
Mark Millar
Comic artists have always been part of my social circle. I just like hanging out with artists, and I always see them at conventions or a store signing or something. Hey, we should do something together.
Mark Millar
Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.
Mark Millar
She was like John Rambo meets Polly Pocket Dakota Fanning crossed with Death Wish 4.
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
All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.
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
Your capacity to grow determines your capacity to lead.
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
The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.
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
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.
Mark Millar
Jesus, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spider-Man?
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 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.
