More quotes by Stan Lee
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
If you have superheroes or characters that exist in the same world, and you're doing movies of them, wouldn't it be fun to put a couple of them together in one movie? Audiences love that. It's a natural thing to do that.
Stan Lee
I enjoyed reading Batman, and Superman, and all the super ones, but I never wished I created them. I've got to let there be some work for other people!
Stan Lee
I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.
Stan Lee
It's a tremendous challenge, because there have been so many characters created over the years. Every time you think you come up with a great name, you find out somebody has already done it. Dreaming up the stories isn't that hard, but coming up with a good title is the toughest part.
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
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
I'm used to doing comic books, where every month there's a new comic book! I find that the movie business is not quite the same. It doesn't move quite as fast.
Stan Lee
I have to force myself to get angry. But I want to show the world that there's another side to me, that I am capable of deep, deep anger and fury. They better watch out for how I'm treated.
Stan Lee
I see myself in everything I write. All the good guys are me.
Stan Lee
To me everything is fun. I've started Twittering or tweeting recently and that's been fun.
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
I'm lucky. I don't have to produce the whole movie. What I've been doing is just coming up with ideas for movies. I write a concept, a treatment, an outline, and if I sell that to a studio, then someone else does the actual production and I go on to another project, although I keep the title executive producer.
Stan Lee
I think it's just the challenge. It's not that all my life I've wanted to do characters [in Marvel] , because I never particularly thought about it, but the challenge of saying, How could they be done differently that may be more absorbing or more effective?
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
The more you read, the better you're going to become as a storyteller.
Stan Lee
A superhero's catchphrase should be like a really memorable advertising slogan. It sticks in your head and you can't stop humming it. And let's face it, superheroes are just really selling themselves as products.
Stan Lee
I never understood why people take drugs. They're habit forming and they can kill you. I didn't need anything to pep me up or make me feel more creative, and I didn't need them to help me with women.
Stan Lee
These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.
Stan Lee
I'm happiest when I'm working. If I'm not working, I feel like I'm wasting my time.
Stan Lee
