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.

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.

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

I know the world expects me to have superpowers, and it'll be quite a disappointment. But I just play myself.
