"I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn't really onto anything good. The number of times I'm treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It's really not practical"

"We grew out of the superhero comics, but we still liked comics, so we started putting our own experiences in the stories we were doing for our own amusement"

"As a kid, you run around the house pretending to be a superhero, and now to be doing it as a job, I feel very lucky"
