Stan Lee

I always felt the 'X-Men,' in a subtle way, often touched upon the subject of racism and inequality, and I believe that subject has come up in other titles, too. But we would never pound hard on the subject, which must be handled with care and intelligence.

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

I think I've never stopped feeling like a kid.

Every kid wants to be an actor. When I was a kid, I thought, 'Oh, it'd be great to be like Errol Flynn. I want to be an actor.'

When I was a kid, Disney was one of my gods. I just loved movies like 'Snow White' and 'Pinocchio.'

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.

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

America is made of different races and different religions, but we're all co-travelers on the spaceship Earth and must respect and help each other along the way.

I always wrote for myself. I figured I'm not that different from other people. If there's a story I like a lot, there's got to be others with similar tastes.

All of the characters at Marvel were my ideas, but the ideas meant nothing unless I had somebody who could illustrate it.

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

I love Marvel and the people there. I'm glad I'm still part of it.
