More quotes by Stan Lee
The main thing I want to do, is to make our website the most entertaining website there is on the Internet. I want it to be the premiere site for entertainment, for communication, and for fun.
Stan Lee
Maybe there will always be a market for the regular comic books because you can read [them] at your own pace. You can save them, collect them, [then] go back and read them again.
Stan Lee
The comics of course, help the movies, because all of the comic fans want to see the movies. And the most amazing thing about it is these movies seem to appeal to young people, to old people, and to people all over the world. They're as popular in China and Latin America as they are here. That's really amazing and gratifying.
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
Technology isn't a villain. Technology should help, but if you just use the technology for the sake of technology, then you're cheating your audience. You're not giving them the best story and the best direction and so forth.
Stan Lee
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
I think superheroes are bigger than life and they're very colorful.
Stan Lee
I don't really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.
Stan Lee
I've been very lucky. All I wanted was to pay the rent. Then these characters took off and suddenly there were Hulk coffee mugs and Iron Man lunchboxes and The Avengers sweatshirts everywhere. Money's okay, but what I really like is working.
Stan Lee
I want to get that same feeling that everybody logging on to our website is sharing a little bit of an inside joke, and the rest of the world is oblivious to it although I want to have most of the world.
Stan Lee
Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
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
Everybody learns differently and everybody gets to a certain point from a different direction.
Stan Lee
I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed. Beyond the meaning (of a work of art), it is important to people. Without it, lives can be dull.
Stan Lee
From 1940 to about 1960, I had been writing just regular comics, the way my publishers wanted me too. He didn't want me to use words of more than two syllables if I could help it. He didn't want me to waste time on worrying about good dialogue or characterization. Just give me a lot of action, lot of fight scenes.
Stan Lee
I don't sound disloyal, but I've never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet.
Stan Lee
To my way of thinking, whether it's a superhero movie or a romance or a comedy or whatever, the most important thing is you've got to care about the characters. You've got to understand the characters and you've got to be interested. If the characters are interesting, you're half-way home.
Stan Lee
I couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!
Stan Lee
I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.
Stan Lee
You can't kill a good comic book series.
