When a man carries an instrument of violence, he'll always find the justification to use it.

My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

My mom once told me that a good relationship isn't where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.

I have no imagination; I just steal from life and change the color. Then it's a comic book.

Every issue, the characters and I duke it out. They usually win.

That was the appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.

I'm not afraid of the world. I'm afraid of a world without you.

A comic script is basically a love letter from you to your artist.

Sure, this will probably end up being another in a long line of emotionally crippling misadventures...but let's try to have some fun along the way.

I've been fortunate enough to travel to comic conventions in Portugal, France, Canada, and it's an honor to get to meet people from all over the world.

Just go out there and get your heart broken in, so it'll be ready when you really need it.

A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.

Loving someone isn’t a hard task, it’s not a chore, you don’t wake up one day and decide to break their heart because you got all hot and bothered, that doesn’t happen!” he boomed.

You’re going to listen to me, and for once you’re going to hear what I say and not read between lines that aren’t there.

Whatever you may say something is, it is not!

It's impossible for us to forecast what's going to happen ten years from now and make a decision today to say what we're going to do.

Making up characters and places and plots, unlike fixing your plumbing or doing dishes, is anything but practical or rational. I write what needs to be written the way that seems genuinely right.

You don't choose who you love.

There are a great number of people from New Jersey who go on to have pretty successful careers.

The last time I had this much fun was a root-canal operation.

I know that in order to be considered successful, youre supposed to do two or three movies a year. I only work once every year-and-a-half, sometimes two years. I have children to raise.
