Brian K. Vaughan quotes about
film fewer
Comics are essentially films with fewer frames per second.
talking names two
I'm the one who started spreading that particular factoid, about Bendis, Azz and me all being bald Brian's from Cleveland, just to get my name mentioned in the same sentence as two much-better writers, and it's worked like a goddamn charm. Next up, I'm going to grow a big, disgusting beard, just so people will start talking about Alan Moore and me in the same breath.
worst-case-scenario fantasy horror
I've always thought of fantasy as a genre of best-case scenarios, and horror as a genre of worst-case scenarios.
mom feel-better good-relationship
My mom once told me that a good relationship isn't where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.
inspiration wife ruth
The biggest inspiration for everything I do is, of course, my wife, playwright Ruth McKee.
confused writing self
I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.
lying writing sound
All writing is the same: It's just making up lies until it starts to sound like the truth. That's what I do.
book color imagination
I have no imagination; I just steal from life and change the color. Then it's a comic book.
genre handled knew power sides spectrum superhero themes
After 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well.
imagination budgets
That was the appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.
character winning issues
Every issue, the characters and I duke it out. They usually win.
heart broken needs
Just go out there and get your heart broken in, so it'll be ready when you really need it.
kids thinking people
I think some people are just very passionate that things remain the way they were when they were kids.
love world without-you
I'm not afraid of the world. I'm afraid of a world without you.
