On Seeing Comic Books And Their Movies Become So Popular:
I always knew they were—but never dreamed there’d be a time when the whole world realized it, too!
On THOR:
It was indescribably wonderful. Any description I could give you would fall far short of the true emotion!
On A Cameo In The Avengers And Joss Whedon:
I hope so. It’s up to the director, but I heard he’s considering it.I met Joss years ago when he was nice enough to make a short speech when I received an award. But we have not met since. I’m really looking forward to seeing him later.
On Which Of His Characters He'd Most Like To See Get The Big Screen Treatment Next:
Dr. Strange. But I’ve a hunch he won’t be left out much longer.
On Whether He Held On To Any Classic Comic Books:
Sorry you reminded me! Unfortunately I was never smart enough to save the original books years ago. Believe it or not, I—of all people—have never really been a comics collector because I let my big chance slip by!
