You can't just have a fight scene. In my opinion, it has to be a character moment or story moment.

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

Artists are not your art monkeys. They are your collaborators. They should be given all due consideration to follow their journey.

I've been reading Ed Brubaker comics since the first appearance of Ed Brubaker comics and every single time he announces a new title I mutter to myself: ugh! I wish I would've thought of that!

I have a very strong color theory, for instance, where in 'Powers,' green means powerless, and red means power.The story was all there, but I was desperate to make sure that extra level was the case.

You're as good as the people you're with.

One similarity I see between peers and some of the people who read my books is that comics were definitely an outlet for us.

I don't take it for granted, because I saw the fruits of Stan's [Lee] 50-year labor, and I didn't have to wait 50 years myself.

If you're miserable and someone flies by looking like they have everything in the whole world and it's never going to be you, that's tough to deal with.

I looked at Tank Girl, which is the coolest comic, ever. The movie didn't make the comic book any less cool. The comic is still the comic.

The books are the books, and a lot of the stuff is some version of your id or your ego.

Hidden yourself in a hole and dared to burden no one with your grievous friendship? I will have friends, Katsa. I will have a life, even though I carry this burden.

To understand pretending is to conquer all barriers of time and space.

Winning big in life has never been a result of playing too safe.

When it is all about winning, once you've done it, you lose interest; stay focus on helping/developing young people as your long-term goal.

The Olympics are great for notoriety right off the bat, but your body of work is what people remember you for.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness didn't know where to shop

I don't want to know what the law is, I want to know who the judge is.

When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.

The true Mason never hesitates to use the working tools to correct personal flaws.

The most destitute person in the world is the one without a smile.
