You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.
Stan Lee
Image
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.

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.

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 think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.
Stan Lee

If Shakespeare and Michelangelo were alive today, and if they decided to collaborate on a comic, Shakespeare would write the script and Michelangelo would draw it. How could anybody say that this wouldn't be as worthwhile an artform as anything on earth?
Stan Lee

I hated teenagers in comics because they were always sidekicks. And I always felt if I were a superhero, there's no way I'd pal around with some teenager, you know.
Stan Lee
Image
Everybody is excited about their projects and I'm excited too. It's not like working. It's like playing with your friends. When I was a kid, I'd say to my mother, Can I go out and play with the kids now? Now I'm out playing with the kids all day long.

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
Image
I don't expect every movie to be done exactly the way I would have done it.
Stan Lee
Image
Comics are stories they're like novels or anything else. So the first thing you have to do is become a good storyteller.

With great power comes great responsibilty.

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
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
Image
The movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.
Stan Lee
Image
The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.

I couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!

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.

Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
