I was into comics because these were my real male role models, even though at the time, I didn't know it.

The best thing about my job is that I work with the best creative people in the business in their fields.

'The New 52,' I was really excited that new people got to jump in on books. In particular, on 'Aqua Man.'

I tend to see - socially, I don't tend to be myself in a male role. I don't know any other way to put it.

I've been doing the Millarworld stuff for decades, and everybody seems really happy that's working on it.

A lot of the time you just have to follow your creative muse and do what you think is best for the story.

If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.

One of the things I like to do is people's hearts are on their sleeve, whether it's a good or a bad heart.

I think it would be cool if Hugh Jackman showed up in 'Avengers: Infinity War,' even if just for a tryout.

Whatever you do, make sure you go right to the top, because you sure as hell can't piss upwards on people.

Talking to oneself, I have often thought, is the best way to be sure of intelligent and witty conversation.

The writer's curse is that the more you fall in love with the work you're doing, the more I think it shows.

The past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.

Compromise is such an integral part of being a human being. You're compromising in every decision you make.

A character wandering around asking, 'Who am I?' isn't, in and of itself, a story I'm interested in telling.

I didn’t write 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' I’m not even sure who they all are. I can’t wait to see the movie.

Isn't it amazing how the X-Men always managed to be ahead of everybody's curve no matter how they look at it?

How I draw and how I leave things out is parallel in some ways to the non-verbal soundscape in radio stories.

All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.

I think the way you become a good storyteller is to read a lot of stories and evaluate them in your own mind.

I know the world expects me to have superpowers, and it'll be quite a disappointment. But I just play myself.

The trick is not caring what EVERYBODY thinks of you and just caring about what the RIGHT people think of you.

The thing that's been exciting about 'Superman' is to see how the character has developed through generations.

Mainly, what I like to do is keep things varied and not get in a rut, not tell the same stories over and over.

I like good stories above all else... and kickin' art really goes the final stretch to ensure a comic is good.

It's a fascinating world to drop a finished product on the marketplace without the intercession of a publisher.

If this book has made any point clear, I hope it's that things don't have to be real to be true. Or vice versa.

DC are playing catch up with Marvel because of things like 'The Avengers' breaking six hundred million domestic.

If you don't demonstrate leadership character, your skills and your results will be discounted, if not dismissed.

I love every character in the DC universe, except for Rampage. Rampage is a She-Hulk rip-off, and I like She-Hulk.

The goal of 'Revelations' is that once it's all done and finished, and you've read all of it, it is its own story.

The Universe will now be set right. Made over to fit my unique view of what should be. Let Nihilism reign supreme!

If I hadn't had the outlet of writing and drawing comics, I guess there's a good chance I wouldn't be around today.

I am as resilient as the steel that was once made here, and I am a fighter, in every sense of the word. We all are.

The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.

Singing a song, playing sports - anything that entertains, that takes people away from their own problems, is good.

The nice thing about genetics is, I can see my kids doing what I used to do, which is inhaling books like breathing.

I like collecting comics, I like buying comics, I like looking at comics, but I also read comics on digital readers.

Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.

The heart is a muscle, and you strengthen muscles by using them. The more I lead with my heart, the stronger it gets.

Negative information is that which, immediately upon acquiring, causes the recipient to know less than he did before.

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

Emotional honesty transcends reality; it's what allows disbelief to be suspended and yet what makes a story stay true.

What we want to see is stories that are going to be honest stories about the characters that we're telling them about.

As big as an elephant is, a whale is still larger. Everything's relative. Even gods have their spot on the food chain.

The power of prayer is still the greatest ever known in this endless eternal universe.-The Watcher in The Avengers #14

The key thing if you're a writer is to visualize the scene and convey it to the penciller and turn the penciller loose.

I work with people and we come up with ideas for movies, television and things like that. It's fun and I love doing it.

I want to talk about what I'm doing now... I'm not interested in what I've done, I'm interested in what I'm about to do.

If you're using a computer as an artist and expressing your personal vision, I think your personal vision comes through.
