“The great thing about superheroes is that they speak to the best in us.”

“Superman is the best character of all time. It's not even a competition.”

“I like the idea of the superhero as a celebrity.”

“Kids don't want to be Spiderman's sidekick. They want to be Spiderman.”

“What I'm interested in is the superhero as a social phenomenon.”

“I wanted to do a story where the bad guys win.”

“I always wanted to do 'what if superheroes really existed?'”

“In real life, there are no bad guys. Everybody just has their own perspective.”

“Ideas are the easiest part of the creative process.”

“The best ideas are the simplest ones.”

“My job is to give people a good time. And if I can give them something to think about, that's a bonus.”

“I just want to make comics that are fun to read.”

“You get a little bit of a thrill when you see your name on a book.”

“Your life is the one romance that you're guaranteed to have.”

“The ultimate authority is the reader. We're in a service industry.”

“He's a guy who gets up at 6 a.m. regardless of what time he went to bed.”

“Comics are a director's medium. You're the director, you're the writer, you're the production designer.”

“Everything I'm doing is a love letter to the stuff I loved as a kid.”

“This is what I do for a living, and it's a great job.”

“I think that's what we all want, in the end. To know that we left a mark. That we were here.”
