I think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.
Stan Lee
Image
I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.
Stan Lee
Image
I am so impressed with people who can really make a big movie, a good movie. The amount of work that goes into it is incredible.
Stan Lee
Image
The thing to me that's fun is trying to make the characters seem believable, or realistic. And it's especially challenging when you're doing fantasy stories, when you're doing superhero types of things.

The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.

With great power comes great responsibilty.

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.

I don't really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.

I don't expect every movie to be done exactly the way I would have done it.

I was in the beginning when [comic book superheroes] started, but not anymore. Now I expect it. I've gotten very used to it.

I always figure I'm not unique, and something that would please me hopefully would please a lot of other people that have the same tastes that I do.

I think there's the element of the excitement of what I'm going to see, and with the special effects where you see men flying and walking through walls and shooting flame or whatever they do, especially the younger audiences, which make up a bulk of the moviegoers, they love that sort of thing.
Stan Lee

It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.
Stan Lee
Image
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
Image
If I got a superpower I wouldn't say, oh, I got to get a costume and put on a mask. I would say hey, I can do something better than other people. How can I turn it into a buck?
Stan Lee
Image
I'm sort of a pressure writer. If somebody says, Stan, write something, and I have to have it by tomorrow morning, I'll just sit down and I'll write it. It always seems to come to me. But I'm better doing a rushed job because if it isn't something that's due quickly, I won't work on it until it becomes almost an emergency and then I'll do it.

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
Image
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.

Comics are stories they're like novels or anything else. So the first thing you have to do is become a good storyteller.

I'm not a guy who gets inspirations.
