More quotes by 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
Virtually every kid is exposed to giants and ogres and talking wolves, and so forth. And magic. And I think you never outgrow your love for those imaginative, fanciful, farfetched, fantastic characters and situations.
Stan Lee
You can't kill a good comic book series.
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

Life is never completely without its challenges.

Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
Stan Lee
I think if I were a superhero saving the world, I'd expect at least not to have to pay income taxes. I mean there should be something in it for a hero who risks his life to save mankind every day.
Stan Lee
People are pissed off about the seemingly impossible goal of social mobility. their proposed solution is to take the wheels off the cart.
Stan Lee
I'm not a guy who gets inspirations.

You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.
Stan Lee
I always figure I'm not unique, and something that would please me hopefully would please a lot of other people that have the same tastes that I do.
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 people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.
Stan Lee
My biggest regret is that I don't really have time to read.
Stan Lee
I had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic... And those were all things I hated.
Stan Lee
Comics are stories they're like novels or anything else. So the first thing you have to do is become a good storyteller.
Stan Lee
I want to get that same feeling that everybody logging on to our website is sharing a little bit of an inside joke, and the rest of the world is oblivious to it although I want to have most of the world.
Stan Lee
When you combine the great stories from the comics with the action and visual excitement of the movies, it doesn't get any better!
Stan Lee
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.
