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.

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.

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.

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.

Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.

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.

If you feel the need to make everyone happy, you should be a wedding planner not a leader.

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.

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

Leaders don't ever arrive. If we ever think we're done, we are done!

The heart is a muscle, and you strengthen muscles by using them. The more I lead with my heart, the stronger it gets.

Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.
