Usually, the biggest hang-up is the script. You could have a script done in six months that you love, or it could be like The Fantastic Four it's been almost 10 years.

The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.
Stan Lee
Image
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 the Chairman Emeritus, and according to my contract I am supposed to devote 10% of my time to working for Marvel... and the rest of my time, I can do anything that I wish.
Stan Lee
Image
Everybody is excited about their projects and I'm excited too. It's not like working. It's like playing with your friends. When I was a kid, I'd say to my mother, Can I go out and play with the kids now? Now I'm out playing with the kids all day long.
Stan Lee

I think kids love superheroes, and the more you can crowd into a story, the more excited they get.
Stan Lee
Image
I like Silver Surfer because he's the most philosophical, always philosophizing about the human race and the human condition and why people are the way they are, why they don't appreciate this wonderful planet they live on... he has a nice moral tone.
Stan Lee
Image
I'm practically an actor. Even when you do an interview, it's like you're performing a little bit, so yeah, I'm enjoying it, it's fun.
Stan Lee
Image
Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.
Stan Lee
Image
The public always loves anything that's different, as long as it's well-made, if it's well-done. You never know what to expect when you go to one of these so-called superhero movies.
Stan Lee
Image
I think superheroes are bigger than life and they're very colorful.
Stan Lee
Image
I see myself in everything I write. All the good guys are me.
Stan Lee
Image
There's never a time when I'm not working. I don't take vacations.
Stan Lee
Image
Everybody learns differently and everybody gets to a certain point from a different direction.
Stan Lee
Image
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
Image
I love Marvel and the people there. Im glad I m still part of it.
Stan Lee
Image
When I was a kid, I loved reading Sherlock Holmes. Now, you don't think of him as a superhero, but he was so damn much smarter than anybody else.
Stan Lee
Image
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 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.
Stan Lee
Image
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.
Stan Lee

Ideally, anything one writes should have a social conscience: if you can write a story that thrills, and with a good message, that's the perfect type of a story.
