"I'm a neurotic New York Jew by..." - Quote by Len Wein

“Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.”

“Were there stories I wrote along the way that were terrible clinkers? God, yes. But they were all a product of their time, and I did the best I could.”

“I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.”

“It is neither holy, Roman or an empire.”

“The person I am in the company of my sisters has been entirely different from the person I am in the company of other people. Fearless, powerful, surprising, moved as I otherwise am only when I write.”

“Well, at least you have led us to the small mailman and the one who smells of prunes." - "UP”

“All our thinking is of this nature, a free play with concepts.”

“Nothing ever succeeds which exuberant spirits have not helped to produce.”

“When I sit down to write, which is the essential moment in my life, I am completely alone. Whenever I write a book, I accumulate a lot of documentation. That background material is the most intimate part of my private life. It's a little embarrassing - like being seen in your underwear It's like the way magicians never tell others how they make a dove come out of a hat.”
