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.

More quotes by Mark Millar
I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
Mark Millar
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.
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
Artists, no matter how good their intentions, are always slower than they think.
Mark Millar
Their argument, and I think it's a correct one, is that they'll make more money from the trades and the hardcovers if nobody messes with the creative team.
Mark Millar
I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.
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 past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.
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
If you feel the need to make everyone happy, you should be a wedding planner not a leader.
Mark Millar
She was like John Rambo meets Polly Pocket Dakota Fanning crossed with Death Wish 4.
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
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
I'm a huge fan of the Rod Serling sci-fi, where they could take the most odd and enormous ideas but ground them in something very human.
Mark Millar
The highest form of leadership is one in which a leader raises up other leaders - not as an accident, but as a result of conscious effort.
Mark Millar
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.
Mark Millar
The animated books pay the lowest rates at the Big Two and you can forget about royalties.
Mark Millar
All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.
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.
