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.

It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.

I have never had a lap dance in Tampa or any other part of Florida. If I ever did have a lap dance, I don't think I would be discussing television ideas with the girl that was giving it to me.

Life is never completely without its challenges.

In fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.

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!

It's the fact that fans still care. I like all the comics conventions: The smaller ones are easier, the bigger ones are exciting.... Each one I say: Never again. But they're all great.... These things are important because they keep the fans' interest alive in comics. They keep the fans reading and their imaginations stimulated.

The world has always been like a comic book world to me! What's happened is that communications got better and better, so now with cell-phones we can be in touch with people half a globe away.

I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.

These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.

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

I guess one person can make a difference.

The power of prayer is still the greatest ever known in this endless eternal universe.-The Watcher in The Avengers #14

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.

It is impossible to do a movie exactly the way a comic book is written and drawn, just as it's impossible to do a movie exactly like a novel or exactly like anything else. When you go to different forms of media, you have to adapt.

The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.

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.
