Frank Miller's Quotes

• I figured Daredevil must be Catholic because only a Catholic could be both an attorney and a vigilante.
• You can't have virtue without sin. What I'm after is having my characters' virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That's how you test people.
• I was always into noir. When I lived in Vermont I was drawing stuff that looked like an amateur doing 'Sin City'. When I first got to New York I was swiftly informed that they only did guys in tights.
• I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.
• [about his inspirations] I'm a comic book artist. So I think to myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coat. So that's what I write about.
