The thing to me that's fun is trying to make the characters seem believable, or realistic. And it's especially challenging when you're doing fantasy stories, when you're doing superhero types of things.

Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.

The movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.
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.

The world has always been like a comic book world to me! What's happened is that communications got better and better, so now with cell-phones we can be in touch with people half a globe away.

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.

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.

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

I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.

The more you read, the better you're going to become as a storyteller.
Stan Lee

My biggest regret is that I don't really have time to read.

To me everything is fun. I've started Twittering or tweeting recently and that's been fun.

I think superheroes are bigger than life and they're very colorful.
Stan Lee

I do know that people enjoy reading a comic book and saving it and collecting the comics. And sharing them and trading them with friends. That may be something you can't do as easily with digital comics.
Stan Lee
Image
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
Image
You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.

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.
