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.

More quotes by Stan Lee
Comic books are just a way to show a story. Then there are the movies, and television and exhibits like this that take the stories and make them seem so realistic. In the comic book, you're just reading a story - hopefully a good, exciting story that whets your appetite for all of this stuff to come.
Stan Lee
I don't expect every movie to be done exactly the way I would have done it.
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
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
If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.
Stan Lee
MARVEL IS A CORNUCOPIA OF FANTASY, A WILD IDEA , A SWASHBUCKLING ATTITUDE , AN ESCAPE FROM THE HUMDRUM AND PROSAIC. IT'S A SERENDIPITOUS FEAST FOR THE MIND, THE EYE , AND THE IMAGINATION, A LITERATE CELEBRATION OF UNBRIDLED CREATIVITY, COUPLED WITH A TOUCH OF REBELLION AND AN INSOLENT DESIRE TO SPIT IN THE EYE OF THE DRAGON.
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
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 had a publisher who felt comics were just for little kiddies, so he never wanted me to use words of more than two syllables.
Stan Lee
You can't kill a good comic book series.
Stan Lee
Once you get the script, you then hope you can get the director that you want. Then you hope he can get the cast he wants. Again, you can go quickly or there can be a million stumbling blocks. There's just no way to know.
Stan Lee
I enjoyed reading Batman, and Superman, and all the super ones, but I never wished I created them. I've got to let there be some work for other people!
Stan Lee
It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.
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
These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.
Stan Lee
I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.
Stan Lee
Reading is very good. And you can quote me!
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 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
Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
