Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charlene Tilton

JR was a 1-dimensional, evil character. JR was multi-dimensional, and Larry Hagman is probably one of the greatest actors that we have. Then, you go back and look at 'I Dream of Jeannie' - I mean, he's a comic genius, as well. So, I think they should give him an honorary Emmy Award.

Gale Anne Hurd

I actually feel like comic book movies need to be better than your average movie.

Sandra Bernhard

I don't consider myself a comic but a performer. A comic tells bad jokes.

Damon Lindelof

In television, if I write that Matthew Fox flies up around the island so he can see how big it is, we have to actually shoot that. In a comic book, you write it, somebody draws it and there it is. No budget, no actors. That frees you up to really do some outside-the-box storytelling.

Chris Wooding

I like writing comic pages, discovering the rhythm of the panels, learning how much you can and can't express. It's good to stretch myself as a writer instead of always doing prose work; I write screenplays for the same reason.

Matt Ryan

I'm constantly trying to mine the DNA of John Constantine and stay true to that character in the comic books.

I'm a severe graphic novels junkie. People ask me about it, and I say I like the graphic novels. Comic books are for kids, and graphic novels are for adults. But you can't really separate the two.

Chelsea Peretti

I performed after 9/11 for relief workers down by Ground Zero. There were these men just coming back, and they were voraciously hungry. They were heroes, pulling rubble, and I was a new comic trying to go blue just so I could get some laughs.

Roky Erickson

I had the 'War of the Worlds' comic book. I had lots of comic books.

Ciaran Hinds

I'm not a comic person at all. It never reached me in the north of Ireland, in the '60s and '70s growing up. We used to get stupid comics like 'The Topper' and 'The Beezer,' things like that.

Joss Whedon

Superman has been my favorite character since I was six years old, and I have more comics featuring Superman than any other single character.

Steve Hofstetter

I try to mix it up. Who wants to see a comic who just goes on with one subject, such as politics, for an hour? I go in a number of different directions. When I perform, there is no subject that is taboo.

Matt LeBlanc

I've grown tremendously as an actor by being there. It is comic writing the likes of which I don't know that I'll ever see again and it's been a great, great experience.

When I was a comic in the 1980s, I was on the road somewhere every day, and I'd get back to the hotel, and it was Carson and Letterman, and I looked forward to that all day.

Noah Baumbach

Woody Allen's movies are so much a part of me. I grew up watching them over and over and would read all his comic pieces for the New Yorker. In some ways, his influence is so much there that I can't even locate it any more.

Leslie Fiedler

Kafka is still unrecognized. He thought he was a comic writer.

Colin Trevorrow

I can say pretty confidently that I am not the right guy to do a superhero movie, just because I was not a comic book kid. I don't know that mythology, and I don't have it ingrained in me in the way that a lot of these other directors do.

When I was a kid, there were no comic shops anywhere, ... I used to walk all over downtown Greensboro with the money from my paper route, going from the newsstands to the drugstores and hotels, looking for comics. I used to dream that just around the next corner I would find a store that sold nothing but comics.

Alan Moore

No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.

I think that comics can do things movies can't and vice versa. In my opinion, you only expose their weaknesses if you try too hard at making one exactly like the other.
