Quotes from Stan Lee

When I was a kid, my favorite superhero was Robin Hood.

Marvel Studios has depicted the Marvel superheroes so beautifully that the whole world loves them.

I think the world has a place for gay superheroes, certainly.

For years, kids have been asking me what's the greatest superpower. I always say luck. If you're lucky, everything works. I've been lucky.

I couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!

I don't know where the hell I'll be in 5 years. Maybe I'll be producing movies maybe I'll be on a corner selling apples. I don't know, but I'm having a hell of a lot of fun.

We all wish we had super powers. We all wish we could do more than we can do.

With great power comes great responsibilty.

I'm just somebody who tries to write things that entertain people. And if I can do it in a way that makes them prefer to emulate the good guy than the bad guy, I'm happy.

I see myself in everything I write. All the good guys are me.

I'm not that familiar with Andrew Garfield, but if the powers that be chose him, I'm sure he'll be good.

If you're going to write something, that's going to be read by people, a lot of people, you hope it will not only entertain them but maybe do them some good in some way.

If I'm half as good as everybody said I am, I'm far too good to be wasting time with ordinary people. But I seem to be spending my life with ordinary people, who are the best people in the world.

The experience of reading a printed comic book will never change, but now, thanks to the digital age, there are many different ways to enjoy the same story. Digital comic books, of course, can be interactive in many different ways, allowing the reader to feel like a participant in the story.

Because I've spent most of my life with such a beautiful, talented, challenging female, I feel I've gained - and am still gaining - a great deal of knowledge about the feminine mystique and about personal relationships - knowledge which is so important to a writer.

I like being with people. I like talking to them. I like everything about my life, so it's fun.

Life is never completely without its challenges.

No one has a perfect life. Everybody has something that he wishes was not the way it is.

I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.

I wouldn't mind, if Peter Parker had originally been black, a Latino, an Indian, or anything else, that he stay that way. But we originally made him white. I don't see any reason to change that.

I have never had a lap dance in Tampa or any other part of Florida. If I ever did have a lap dance, I don't think I would be discussing television ideas with the girl that was giving it to me.

I've been the luckiest man in the world because I've had friends, and to have the right friends is everything: people you can depend on, people who tell you the truth if you ask something.

Singing a song, playing sports - anything that entertains, that takes people away from their own problems, is good.

To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
