If nothing else, comics will continue to exist because Hollywood is making movies out of them.

Kids aren't kids anymore. They're so exposed to everything. They wouldn't accept really simplistic superheroes

"We always knew Ron was perfect and I remember sitting up at Rick Baker's shop before Ron was in makeup, he was just getting a life cast or something done, and he was just telling telling stories, and Guillermo del Toro and I looking at each other and laughing because he was already Hellboy. Just sitting around being himself he was Hellboy, and yet, as much as I knew he was perfect I was still caught by surprise by his performance in the film, because there is so much subtle stuff that I never... I mean there are things in the script that made me nervous. I thought 'Is this going to be too..' well, the romance stuff always makes me nervous because I can't write that kind of stuff, but the performance he did with that stuff is so, so beautiful." - On Ron Perlman in Hellboy (2004).
