A lot of times when I sit down with the other comics and try to talk theory, they say I'm being too serious.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Not being a comic book fan, being thrown into that and seeing the extreme - it's taken very seriously. So I tried to do as much learning as I could about it so I wasn't mean or anything.
It's no secret that in my books I'm trying to make the comic and the serious rub up against each other just as closely and uncomfortably as I can.
I don't laugh out loud at comics a lot.
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period.
You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
It's not that I'm a serious person; I'm playful and stuff like that, but I take characters very seriously and the work very seriously.
The comic book fans, especially 'X-Men' fans, are so serious about their comic book.
When I first began to write fiction, I didn't think I was a comic writer; I thought I was a serious writer. I was surprised when the first novel I wrote was regarded as a funny novel.
I tend to stay away from the comics.
