Leaders don't ever "arrive." If we ever think we're done, we are done!

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.

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 have my own way of dividing people, as I suppose most of us have. There are those whom I can talk to, and those whom I can't.

Take Bach or Schubert: Their music was dedicated to God but filled and shaped their worldly lives. If you are a committed atheist, you lean back and miss all the richness of that history.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.

Two orders of mankind are the enemies of church and state; the king without clemency, and the holy man without learning.
