We have enough to do just trying to make our company what we want it to be. As far as whether I would like to own Marvel, sure, I'd like to own Marvel.

With great power comes great responsibilty.

No matter what you write, it's a matter of putting words in a certain order so that the reader will be interested in what you're writing.

Image
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.

It's a tremendous challenge, because there have been so many characters created over the years. Every time you think you come up with a great name, you find out somebody has already done it. Dreaming up the stories isn't that hard, but coming up with a good title is the toughest part.

The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.
Stan Lee
Image
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.

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.

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.
Stan Lee
Image
I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed. Beyond the meaning (of a work of art), it is important to people. Without it, lives can be dull.
Stan Lee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
My biggest regret is that I don't really have time to read.
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.
Stan Lee
Image
You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.
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.
Stan Lee

To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
