More quotes by Stan Lee
These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.
Stan Lee
We're living in a world where everything moves very quickly. We've become a very visual society, so I think it's a very natural thing that people are captivated with the illustrations in a story.
Stan Lee
I wanted them to be diverse. The whole underlying principle of the X-Men was to try to be an anti-bigotry story to show there's good in every person.
Stan Lee
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
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.
Stan Lee
I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.
Stan Lee
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.
Stan Lee
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
I think comics will always be around. I think there's something nice about a comic book. People love to hold 'em, turn the pages, fold 'em up, roll 'em up, stick 'em in their back pocket, show 'em to a friend, and say, Hey, look at this.
Stan Lee
I am so impressed with people who can really make a big movie, a good movie. The amount of work that goes into it is incredible.
Stan Lee
I guess one person can make a difference.
Stan Lee
You can't kill a good comic book series.
Stan Lee
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.
Stan Lee
I like Spider-Man because he's become the most famous. He's the one who's most like me - nothing ever turns out 100 percent OK he's got a lot of problems, and he does things wrong, and I can relate to that.
Stan Lee
I think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.
Stan Lee
In fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.
Stan Lee
If you're writing about a character, if he's a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don't think he'll be as interesting to the reader.
Stan Lee
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
Negative information is that which, immediately upon acquiring, causes the recipient to know less than he did before.
Stan Lee
I do conventions sometimes every other weekend. Whenever I have time, and it's not too far away. I get a lot of invitations (to appear at conventions) in other countries and I have to turn them down.
Stan Lee
