Comics Are Stories; They're Like Novels Or

Comic Books To Me Are Fairy Tales For Grown-ups.

You Remember When Tobey Maguire Was First Selected, Most Of The Fans Were Angry. They Felt, What Kind Of A Guy Is That For A Superhero? Nobody Thought It Was A Good Idea. Yet He Turned Out To Be Great. The People At Marvel Who Do These Things Are Really Pretty Smart. If They Chose This Guy, He'll Probably Be Terrific.

The Cliché I Tried To Avoid Was I Hated "teenage Sidekicks." I Always Figured If I Were A Superhero, There's No Way On God's Earth That I'm Gonna Pal Around With Some Teenager. So My Publisher Insisted I Have A Teenager In The Series, Because They Always Felt Teenagers Won't Read The Books Unless There's A Teenager In The Story; Which Is Nonsense.

I'm Happiest When I'm Working. If I'm Not Working, I Feel Like I'm Wasting My Time.

I Think Kids Love Superheroes, And The More You Can Crowd Into A Story, The More Excited They Get.
