Text Quotes
The rain on my chest is a baptism - I’m born again  (Frank Miller Quotes) American comics are so constipated  (Frank Miller Quotes) The comics I read as a kid were all about guys in tights. But here was a guy who wore a fedora. He fought crime like they did in Marvel and DC, but he did it in the real world. I had just turned 12 when I met the Spirit and it was a strange coincidence. At the same time I discovered girls I fell out of love with guys in tights  (Frank Miller Quotes) I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights  (Frank Miller Quotes) Comic book’ has come to mean a specific genre, not a story form, in people’s minds. So someone will call ‘Die Hard’ a ‘comic-book movie,’ when it has nothing to do with comic books. I’d rather have comics be the vehicle by which stories are told  (Frank Miller Quotes) 3,000 of my neighbors were murdered. My country was, utterly unprovoked, savagely attacked. I wish all those responsible for the atrocity of 9/11 to burn in Hell  (Frank Miller Quotes) I think most things I read on the Internet and in newspapers are propaganda. Everyone from the ‘New York Times’ to Rupert Murdoch has a point of view and is putting forth their own propaganda. They’re stuck with the facts as they are, but the way they interpret and frame them is wildly different  (Frank Miller Quotes) Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That’s one of the things they’re there for  (Frank Miller Quotes) News objectivity is a twentieth-century myth. We only complain about propaganda when we don’t agree with it  (Frank Miller Quotes) In the comic-book world, there tends to be an overblown sense of tradition. Bad habits die hard. There are ways I think the form could work more effectively if we lost the bad habits that were created before we were born  (Frank Miller Quotes) Gotham City. Clean shafts of concrete and snowy rooftops. The work of men who died generations ago. From here, it looks like an achievement. From here, you can’t see the enemy  (Frank Miller Quotes) Mighty cultures never - are almost never conquered. They crumble from within. And frankly, I think that a lot of Americans are acting like spoiled brats because everything isn’t working out perfectly every time  (Frank Miller Quotes) You can never escape me. Bullets don’t harm me. Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I KNOW pain. Sometimes I share it. With someone like you  (Frank Miller Quotes) But I’m not trying to convince anybody how to vote or how to live. Nobody’s ever successfully accused me of being realistic  (Frank Miller Quotes) Think of me as the weathered sheriff coming back into Dodge ‘cause the youngsters are shooting up the church and scaring the horses and not doing right by the women  (Frank Miller Quotes) You can’t have virtue without sin. What I’m after is having my characters’ virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That’s how you test people  (Frank Miller Quotes) It was said Daredevil grew up in Hell’s Kitchen, an amazing name for a neighbourhood. But that opened a Pandora’s box of all the crime stuff I wanted to do. I borrowed liberally from Will Eisner’s ‘The Spirit’ and turned ‘Daredevil’ into a crime comic  (Frank Miller Quotes) It’s not movies and it’s not fine art. The beauty of a comic is that it’s clear, direct communication. My work is getting simpler and more cartoony because I’m much more interested in communication now than in any illustrative value  (Frank Miller Quotes) I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn’t do anything. I mean, he’s blind. It wasn’t that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite, but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I’d always wanted to do a crime comic  (Frank Miller Quotes) Comic-book pages are vertical, and movie screens are relentlessly horizontal. But it’s all the same form. We use different tools, but we get the job done. I’m completely in love with CGI. It’s great for conveying a cartoonist’s sense of reality  (Frank Miller Quotes) Hello, I’m Shellie’s new boyfriend and I’m out of my mind. If you so much as talk to her or even think her name, I’ll cut you in ways that’ll make you useless to a woman  (Frank Miller Quotes) The larger-than-life thing is definitely what I’m after. I’ve always drawn dark stories. Occasionally, I’ll try a perfect hero, but it’s a real stretch for me. I like ‘em warts and all, and obsessive and weird  (Frank Miller Quotes) You can’t have virtue without sin. What I’m after is having my characters’ virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That’s how you test people.  (Frank Miller Quotes) I’m a spoilt brat. I thought I was just going to walk in and make movies. But I’d been my own boss for so long that all of a sudden to be facing a roomful of people who were niggling over every little scene... I just thought I’d go back and draw my comics and have a happy life.  (Frank Miller Quotes) I prefer to write and draw in the privacy of my home and with total freedom and then take it to the lion’s den.  (Frank Miller Quotes) Occupy’ is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.  (Frank Miller Quotes) Think of me as the weathered sheriff coming back into Dodge ‘cause the youngsters are shooting up the church and scaring the horses and not doing right by the women.  (Frank Miller Quotes) I’m a comic book artist. So I think to myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coats. So that’s what I write about.  (Frank Miller Quotes) I can tell you squat about Islamism. But I know a lot about Al Quaeda, and they need to burn in hell.  (Frank Miller Quotes) You do Batman right, and he’s going to be popular. He’s a great character. I was once asked by somebody if writing ‘Batman’ was like holding a Ming vase or something. And I said, ‘No, it’s like holding a big-ass diamond that you can’t break. You can throw him against the ceiling, against the floor, anywhere, and you just can’t break Batman.’  (Frank Miller Quotes)
