Singing a song, playing sports - anything that entertains, that takes people away from their own problems, is good.

The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.
Stan Lee
Image
You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.
Stan Lee
Image
To my way of thinking, whether it's a superhero movie or a romance or a comedy or whatever, the most important thing is you've got to care about the characters. You've got to understand the characters and you've got to be interested. If the characters are interesting, you're half-way home.

My biggest regret is that I don't really have time to read.
Stan Lee
Image
I'm just somebody who tries to write things that entertain people. And if I can do it in a way that makes them prefer to emulate the good guy than the bad guy, I'm happy.

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.

It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.

Comic books are just a way to show a story. Then there are the movies, and television and exhibits like this that take the stories and make them seem so realistic. In the comic book, you're just reading a story - hopefully a good, exciting story that whets your appetite for all of this stuff to come.

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

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.

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.

My memories are beautiful because my wife Joan is English and shortly after we were married, we stayed in London and I never forgot it. We loved it so much that we've been back very often and it's always a thrill. To me, there's New York City where I was born and raised and then there's London!

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

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

You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?

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'm the Chairman Emeritus, and according to my contract I am supposed to devote 10% of my time to working for Marvel... and the rest of my time, I can do anything that I wish.
