More quotes by Stan Lee
You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.
Stan Lee
The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.
Stan Lee
Once you get the script, you then hope you can get the director that you want. Then you hope he can get the cast he wants. Again, you can go quickly or there can be a million stumbling blocks. There's just no way to know.
Stan Lee
With great power comes great responsibilty.
Stan Lee
I always thought it was more interesting to think about Reed Richards. As you know, he had the ability to stretch, and sexually, that would seem to be a great asset in many areas.
Stan Lee
I do know that people enjoy reading a comic book and saving it and collecting the comics. And sharing them and trading them with friends. That may be something you can't do as easily with digital comics.
Stan Lee
If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.
Stan Lee
We're living in a world where everything moves very quickly. We've become a very visual society, so I think it's a very natural thing that people are captivated with the illustrations in a story.
Stan Lee
I wanted them to be diverse. The whole underlying principle of the X-Men was to try to be an anti-bigotry story to show there's good in every person.
Stan Lee
No matter what you write, it's a matter of putting words in a certain order so that the reader will be interested in what you're writing.
Stan Lee
My biggest regret is that I don't really have time to read.
Stan Lee
These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.
Stan Lee
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?
Stan Lee
Some people will say, Why read a comic book? It stifles the imagination. If you read a novel you imagine what people are like. If you read a comic, it's showing you. The only answer I can give is, You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?
Stan Lee
I enjoy the fact that we have these mobile comics now, which are sort of a cross between a comic book and an animated cartoon.
Stan Lee
I hated teenagers in comics because they were always sidekicks. And I always felt if I were a superhero, there's no way I'd pal around with some teenager, you know.
Stan Lee
I like Silver Surfer because he's the most philosophical, always philosophizing about the human race and the human condition and why people are the way they are, why they don't appreciate this wonderful planet they live on... he has a nice moral tone.
Stan Lee
I couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!
Stan Lee
I know the world expects me to have superpowers, and it'll be quite a disappointment. But I just play myself.
Stan Lee
