“Most of my best friends ended up being women, most notably my wife, and I learn a lot by simply listening.”
“I've been drawing since I was five years old.”
“I grew up on comics in the 1960s era, when 'Wonder Woman' was rather silly. She was an interchangeable female character plagued by bad stereotypes. She cried at the drop of a hat, she was worried about how she looked, all of that.”
“Looking back, my style was pretty much Marvel house style - very large, thick characters, very musclebound, not very flexible.”
“I've been to hundreds of conventions in my career. Sometimes I'm afraid I may get jaded by them. But then, I see a figure in bright colors walking up to me, and I smile. I thank them for reminding me of just how lucky I am to do what I get the honor to do every day of my life.”
“To clarify the facts to everyone, yes, I did have a heart attack. I was on a plane leaving from Los Angeles, CA, heading to Secaucus, NJ, for a comic convention when I started to feel some discomfort in my chest.”
“The difference between Superman and Wonder Woman is not strength or power level or origin but the fact that she is a woman.”
“If Trump's own words didn't convince you what a loathsome person he is, certainly nothing that I say or do will sway you.”
“I try to pay it forward. I do a lot of philanthropic and charity work. Some of my greatest awards, greatest rewards, have not been for comic work but for charity work.”
“I have a fan base who are collectors.”
“One of the greatest joys of doing 'Comic Book Men' - I was so thankful - was that my wife Carol was able to appear with me. Being able to share that experience with Carol was such a monumental joy for me.”
“It wasn't until I went to my first comic convention while I was in high school that I got to see actual comic book artists and original artwork in real life, up close. That was when I first realized that this is what I wanted to do for a living.”
