It didn't take a trauma to make you wear a mask. It didn't take your parents getting shot...or cosmic rays or a power ring...Just the perfect combination of loneliness and despair.

Guess that's thirty-one pieces of silver you've got now, huh? Sleep well, Judas.

I didn't want the headache of having a publisher reviewing everything I wrote in advance.

At the moment, I have it planned as a six or seven year experiment, but the books will only ever appear in bursts like this every couple of years and only with the best quality artists.

Likewise, I see no shame in writing Captain America or Wolverine.

Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence.

If you feel the need to make everyone happy, you should be a wedding planner not a leader.

Organizations who win, think deeply, choose wisely, and act decisively.

The trick was really finding the appropriate publisher for each of the projects I'd devised.

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

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.

Don't permit negative minds and things to distract you from your happiness. Your life doesn't deserve to miss any moment of it.

We must learn from our struggles.

You think you're funny? I think I'm adorable.

Inactivity is death.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.

The threat of world's end is the old threat.

O blest one hour like this! to rise And see grief's shadows backward roll; While bursts on unaccustomed eyes The glad Aurora of the soul.

The stand up, everything was accidental. I never grew up and was the class clown and had to get the attention. It was - it really is, I have a career despite myself.

I’m the type of person that tries to fall back asleep in the morning just to finish a dream.

Everyone on this planet has spirit within them as an all powerful force for good.
