A biography for Rob Liefeldhasn’t been written yet.
“'Youngblood' #1 was my first brush with Internet bashing. Message boards were just emerging, but the criticism was drowned out by millions of copies flying off shelves.”
“Deadpool was intended, as Cable was, to be tied into Wolverine's history.”
“The visual of Deadpool was very informed by Spider-Man.”
“I'm very invested in 'Youngblood' at all stages.”
“Trust me: I was the most bullish on 'Deadpool.' When I was day one on the set, I said, 'This is going to open at $75 million,' and they all said, 'Shut up, Liefeld; you're jinxing us.'”
“I always had a great history of comics. I've been buying them since I was six years old. I was a student of the craft.”
“I've had really hard struggles in my life.”
“'New Mutants' is the absolute definition of a broken down jalopy, and I took it on, and I just remade it... That's why I was so cocky and confident: because I was like, 'I just turned around this broken down comic book with products of my imagination.'”
“The funniest is the moms who get really angry with me, and they bring their kid who's dressed like Deadpool, and he's 9 years old, and they're scolding me that their little kid can't enjoy Deadpool.”
“I never thought we'd live in an age where we'd get to 2008's 'Iron Man,' which I think is a perfect movie.”
“The mutants I like - Wolverine. The action heroes I like, they have weapons; they are more visceral. So I filled the comic with characters like that, and we got big results.”
“I love getting older.”
“Here's the deal: 25 years' worth of Deadpool. This movie comes out 25 years to the day we published him at Marvel, and you couldn't get a better gift if you're a 'Deadpool' fan.”
“Anything that is good influences the next thing. It's inevitable. I believe that Hollywood influences the comics, and the comics influence Hollywood - it's a cycle.”
“I love drawing Ryan Reynolds in his Deadpool costume. He looks amazing and is the true embodiment of the Merc with a Mouth!”
“Gene Hackman's portrayal of Lex Luthor did not exist in comic books. This is not my Lex Luthor, but I really like it.”
“I ended up making my name at Marvel, but I've always desired greater access to the DCU characters. Bottom line: I'm a huge fan.”
“I've always had a fortunate knack for grabbing young talent and giving them a break.”
“Deadpool exploded for the youth around 2010 with 'Marvel vs. Capcom.' He was the most popular character. He does kicks, then mocks you as he hits you and dances around you when you hit the ground.”
“I'm not that guy that blows deadlines anymore.”
