More quotes by 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 don't sound disloyal, but I've never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet.
Stan Lee
You remember when Tobey Maguire was first selected, most of the fans were angry. They felt, what kind of a guy is that for a superhero? Nobody thought it was a good idea. Yet he turned out to be great. The people at Marvel who do these things are really pretty smart. If they chose this guy, he'll probably be terrific.
Stan Lee
I know the world expects me to have superpowers, and it'll be quite a disappointment. But I just play myself.
Stan Lee
Usually, the biggest hang-up is the script. You could have a script done in six months that you love, or it could be like The Fantastic Four it's been almost 10 years.
Stan Lee
I think I've got 12... Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Plastic-Man, Green Lantern, Sandman, The Justice League, The Atom Legion of Superheroes and Teen Titans.... Just about all of their top titles.
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 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.
Stan Lee
We have enough to do just trying to make our company what we want it to be. As far as whether I would like to own Marvel, sure, I'd like to own Marvel.
Stan Lee
Maybe there will always be a market for the regular comic books because you can read [them] at your own pace. You can save them, collect them, [then] go back and read them again.
Stan Lee
To me everything is fun. I've started Twittering or tweeting recently and that's been fun.
Stan Lee
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.
Stan Lee
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
The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.
Stan Lee
Some people are able to not only entertain the public in any way that they can but also in some way to throw in some sort of inspirational message with the entertainment. I have always tried to do that with whatever I wrote. And I'm sure that a lot of other writers do, too.
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 couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!
Stan Lee
You can't kill a good comic book series.
Stan Lee
Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
