You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?
Stan Lee

If you have superheroes or characters that exist in the same world, and you're doing movies of them, wouldn't it be fun to put a couple of them together in one movie? Audiences love that. It's a natural thing to do that.
Stan Lee
Image
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.

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

My memories are beautiful because my wife Joan is English and shortly after we were married, we stayed in London and I never forgot it. We loved it so much that we've been back very often and it's always a thrill. To me, there's New York City where I was born and raised and then there's London!

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.

I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.
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
Image
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.

I don't really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.

Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.

People are pissed off about the seemingly impossible goal of social mobility. their proposed solution is to take the wheels off the cart.

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

The comics of course, help the movies, because all of the comic fans want to see the movies. And the most amazing thing about it is these movies seem to appeal to young people, to old people, and to people all over the world. They're as popular in China and Latin America as they are here. That's really amazing and gratifying.

When you combine the great stories from the comics with the action and visual excitement of the movies, it doesn't get any better!

I'm sort of a pressure writer. If somebody says, Stan, write something, and I have to have it by tomorrow morning, I'll just sit down and I'll write it. It always seems to come to me. But I'm better doing a rushed job because if it isn't something that's due quickly, I won't work on it until it becomes almost an emergency and then I'll do it.

I've been very lucky. All I wanted was to pay the rent. Then these characters took off and suddenly there were Hulk coffee mugs and Iron Man lunchboxes and The Avengers sweatshirts everywhere. Money's okay, but what I really like is working.
