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
Image
With great power comes great responsibilty.
Stan Lee
Image
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
Image
I had a publisher who felt comics were just for little kiddies, so he never wanted me to use words of more than two syllables.
Stan Lee
Image
It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.
Stan Lee
Image
The movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.
Stan Lee
Image
I think superheroes are bigger than life and they're very colorful.
Stan Lee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.
Stan Lee
Image
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
Image
When I was a kid, I loved reading Sherlock Holmes. Now, you don't think of him as a superhero, but he was so damn much smarter than anybody else.
Stan Lee
Image
There's never a time when I'm not working. I don't take vacations.
Stan Lee
Image
I know the world expects me to have superpowers, and it'll be quite a disappointment. But I just play myself.
Stan Lee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I couldn't say no when I received that offer [to re-invent the DC characters]... How can any writer say no to the opportunity of redoing every one of DC's top superheroes?
Stan Lee
Image
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 think if I were a superhero saving the world, I'd expect at least not to have to pay income taxes. I mean there should be something in it for a hero who risks his life to save mankind every day.

Most people say, I can't wait to retire so I can play golf, or go yachting or whatever they do. Well, if I was playing golf, I would want that to finish so I could go and dream up a new TV show.
