I feel it's very important to let individual writers' voices come through. But the character has to be consistent.

The fact is that at different stages of your life, and under the influence of different inspirations, you write different things. The point is not necessarily to find your voice, which grinds out the same sort of thing again and again, but to find a vehicle for people who are far more important than the author: the characters.

There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.

One of the key characteristics of the comic book medium is that it is not brought to life by just one voice.

It's usually easier for me to begin writing in a character's voice if that person is different from me in some significant way.

Character and story are suggested by the voice in the words themselves.

A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.

All writers are mimics, and I'm not interested in picking up somebody else's style or voice.

When you write for a show that's not yours, your job is to hear the voices of the characters and write as best you can for those voices.

When you work on a pre-existing character, when you end up getting invited to be part of a legacy character like Superman, I don't feel like it would be true to the character if all I did was go in looking to express my own voice.
