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?

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.

Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.

I'm happiest when I'm working. If I'm not working, I feel like I'm wasting my time.

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 have never had a lap dance in Tampa or any other part of Florida. If I ever did have a lap dance, I don't think I would be discussing television ideas with the girl that was giving it to me.

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.

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

I couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!

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.

It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.

You can't kill a good comic book series.

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

I love Marvel and the people there. Im glad I m still part of it.

If you're writing about a character, if he's a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don't think he'll be as interesting to the reader.

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.

Some people will say, Why read a comic book? It stifles the imagination. If you read a novel you imagine what people are like. If you read a comic, it's showing you. The only answer I can give is, You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?

I couldn't say no when I received that offer [to re-invent the DC characters]... How can any writer say no to the opportunity of redoing every one of DC's top superheroes?
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.
