- Stan Lee: Spider-Man was Spidey, Captain America was Wing Head, Thor was Goldilocks. I loved calling Iron Man Shell-Head and Daredevil was Horn-Head.
- Stan Lee: [when asked about writing powerful stuff for children] I never wrote for kids, I wrote for me.
- Kevin Smith: [talking about Spider-Man's angry DAILY BUGLE boss] Another immortal character in the Spider-Man mythos is J. Jonah Jameson.
- Stan Lee: Oh, I loved him.
- Kevin Smith: Where does J. Jonah come from?
- Stan Lee: You know who J. Jonah Jameson was?
- Kevin Smith: Who was he?
- Stan Lee: He was me. He was a irrascible, he was bad-tempered, he was dumb, he thought he was better than he was. He was the version that so many people had of me! And I always wanted to play him in the movie. I was so sorry that by the time the movie was made, I was too old to play the role. Well, I don't think I'm too old, but obviously they did. Oh, and the guy who's playing him is wonderful! He's done it better than I could've done, and that's very high praise!
