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.

More quotes by Mark Millar
The books are all very, very different so the publishers really had to be different too.
Mark Millar
All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.
Mark Millar
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.
Mark Millar
Your capacity to grow determines your capacity to lead.
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
Batman: a force of chaos in my world of perfect order. The dark side of the Soviet dream. Rumored to be a thousand murdered dissidents, they said he was a ghost. A walking dead man. A symbol of rebellion that would never fade as long as the system survived. Anarchy in black.
Mark Millar
I wanted to portray very, very dark subject matter and a deceptively complex story in the brightest colours and simplest lines possible to leave the readers reeling.
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
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
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
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
I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
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
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
Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.
Mark Millar
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.
Mark Millar
I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.
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
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
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.
