couple book artist
At the moment, I have it planned as a six or seven year experiment, but the books will only ever appear in bursts like this every couple of years and only with the best quality artists.
writing scripts proposal
I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
tired practice gone
Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.
character skills results
If you don't demonstrate leadership character, your skills and your results will be discounted, if not dismissed.
stuff really-happy seems
I've been doing the Millarworld stuff for decades, and everybody seems really happy that's working on it.
jobs believe reality
First, believe in your ability to create the future. That's what leaders do-that is our job. Understand reality but never be imprisoned by it. Reality is a moment in time. The future has not yet been written-it is written by leaders.
play organization chess
If you want to build a high performance organization, you've got to play chess, not checkers.
capacity grows determine
Your capacity to grow determines your capacity to lead.
want headache publishers
I didn't want the headache of having a publisher reviewing everything I wrote in advance.
guy pals bonus
I just love the fact that all my pals are basically looked after. You know, we have these amazing deals, these guys split 50 percent. We have ownership 50 percent, all the bonuses 50 percent, and everybody's going to be alright. So going forward into the future, every one of these Millarworld projects, as we call them, 50 percent partners on everything. So it's just a really happy environment to be working in.
readership breadth factors
The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.
dream dark men
Batman: a force of chaos in my world of perfect order. The dark side of the Soviet dream. Rumored to be a thousand murdered dissidents, they said he was a ghost. A walking dead man. A symbol of rebellion that would never fade as long as the system survived. Anarchy in black.
loneliness perfect parent
It didn't take a trauma to make you wear a mask. It didn't take your parents getting shot...or cosmic rays or a power ring...Just the perfect combination of loneliness and despair.
jesus men paris
Jesus, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spider-Man?
