Quotes
- "Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it."

"Now I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street."
"I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. I guess it's a sign that I'm moving up the ladder."
