Todd McFarlane

"It works in the comic book, but as the audiences have gotten older and more sophisticated, I think the stories need to grow up with them. This is a story about a couple of rival gangs and what goes wrong in a couple of days"

Todd McFarlane

"I still do some inking here and there and I've actually got a book that I'm going to ink entirely"

"That was my fear, which is why when I was took over a book, I was always trying to tweak it a little bit so that it looked like I was trying to add something instead of keeping the status quo"

Todd McFarlane

"A lot was happening, plus there were an enormous number of people in the industry that were going to conventions, so it was a pretty fun time. Also there was a lot of controversy and I was at the forefront of some of that"

Todd McFarlane

"The deal is that you can do it, you don't really owe me anything, but at the end of it, I own the film. Then I can actually go out and reprint or not reprint if it I want"

Todd McFarlane

"It can't really happen today the way it did back then and part of that is because I think there's a bit of a competitive scare over at Marvel and DC so they lock guys up with exclusive contracts"

Todd McFarlane

"I'm a guy who likes to watch something cool, creepy and suspenseful and there is no show to watch as an adult that would scare me at for even four seconds"

Todd McFarlane

Todd McFarlane

"I think people would actually be surprised by what we put out. Unfortunately the shadow that the original founders cast was that they were just artists that can't write books so people swept the whole of Image with that paintbrush"

Todd McFarlane

"Image has to be its own fortress, in spite of the owners. People can't separate that or they don't comprehend that you can turn that on and off for each one of the different entities"

Todd McFarlane

"If I ever do anything, it actually might be some fantasy elf thing or even some cute, funny thing. Just to do something a little bit out of the ordinary. I've done my superhero gig"

Todd McFarlane

"Anthology shows as a whole scare people. The networks can't quite get their heads around it"

Todd McFarlane

"Obviously Spawn was at the top of the charts at that point so you get a lot of opportunities"

Todd McFarlane

"I even knew some of the dialogue but it was definitely cool to look at. We always argue that the movies should be loyal but in this case I could argue that it might have been too loyal"

Todd McFarlane

"To me, I was always just standing on the sidelines because up until issue 50, we were just doing Spawn. I wasn't recruiting anybody because I didn't have any books for people to work on"

Todd McFarlane

"I'm tired of trying to get other people to see into my brain. I'm done"

Todd McFarlane

"I guess The Grudge made over $100 million, but none of them had long legs after they came out but they all opened up and found an audience. If you could make those movies for a price, which is what I want to do with Spawn, then you could have some success"

Todd McFarlane

"Here is a fear for me, I never wanted to be one of those guys that was defined by a body of work 20 years old"
