I'm A Huge Fan Of The Rod

Jesus, Man. Why Do People Want To Be Paris Hilton And Nobody Wants To Be Spider-man?

Anytime Something Becomes A Success In This Way You Always Get Imitators. I'm An Imitator Of The Guys I Love. I Imitate People Like Frank Miller, Who Is A Huge Inspiration To Me.

Matthew Vaughn Phoned Me Up And He Said, "hey, Listen, The Movie Has Just Done Gangbusters. We've Got To Do The Second One." And I Was Like, "matthew, I Have No Second Book. Dave And I Haven't Done It," And He's Like, "you're Kidding!" He Said, "this Movie's Just Made $420 Million!" I Was Like, "...we've Got Nothing." So The Amazing Thing Was, Because We Own The Rights, We Still Get Paid And Everything, Which Is Fantastic.

The Weird Thing Is That Stuart's The One Guy - Stuart [immonen ]and Sean Gordon Murphy, They're The Kind Of Guys You Can Trust, Where You Don't Need To Do That Because Those Guys Are So Incredibly Reliable. They're Just Like Clockwork, They Turn In The Pages Just So Perfectly On Time. But I'm So Paranoid, Because I've Been Burned So Many Times, That I'm Still Even Banking These Guys.

Pretty Much All Comic-book People, Like All Hollywood People, For The Most Part, Are Pretty Liberal. I Think Especially Uk Writers. Alan Moore Is Probably The Most Radical Guy You'll Ever Meet. I Grew Up Loving Those Guys, So My Heroes, As A Kid, Were Radical Cartoonists, Essentially. I Couldn't Help But - I Grew Up In A Left-wing Household. But I Do Think It's Fun, Writing Right-wing Characters. I've Found It Interesting, Just As A Writer, To Get Inside Their Heads And Make Them Likeable.
