A good book or movie or screenplay should be emotionally satisfying. When they're done, you want people to breathe a deep sigh and say, 'Wow.'

I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.

I can never read this book, just like I can never see a movie that I wrote a screenplay for. I can read it and see it physically, but I can't accurately judge it. I'm too close to it. If I read it ten times I'll have ten different reactions.

Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe.

Kids are not going to sit and read a slow-paced book. Neither are adults.

A good book is a good book. End of story.
