“Usually when you say something’s a comic book movie, it means you turn on the purple and green lights.”

Maybe I could be Supergirl on Broadway! That would be perfect.

OK, Supergirl is number one. Maybe I could be Supergirl on Broadway That would be perfect.

Angelina Jolie is my style inspiration.

I don’t get to shoot anybody. That kind of sucks.

I want a guy I can go hiking with, who wants to do outdoorsy stuff.

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it.

And when they don’t come to fruition and nobody sees them, there’s a part of you that dies a little bit. It’s like, ‘Ah! But I worked so hard!’ But that’s the business.

To me, my favorite comic book movies were the ones that were never based on comic books, like Unforgiven.

But I started in theater and I’d love to be on Broadway.

Alan Moore’s writing is almost novelistic. It’s very intricate and wordy and smart.

It makes me feel feminine and safe. I don’t like to be hovering over a guy or feel like a linebacker.

My favorite action movie growing up was ‘Supergirl.’

The energy of live theater is indescribable. You are just in the moment for an hour and a half.

That’s more the kind of thing that get us inspired.

It looks better when you do your own stunts, because seeing somebody’s face when they’re doing them is fun for the audience.

I would love to do Broadway. I dont think theres anything more amazing than theater.

I got into comics about the same time as music. By 12 years old, I had discovered my dad’s killer comic book collection filled with Silver Age books from his youth…early Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four,

The Hulk, Detective Comics, Action Comics, you name it. Seeing those old books got me interested in new comics, so my friends and I would hit the local comic shop every Saturday to pick up the cool titles of my generation.

I would draw my own comic book characters listening to metal. The drawing and music kind of went hand in hand.

There are two kinds of comics; there are the ones who build bridges, and then there are the people who walk across the bridges as though they built them. The bridge builders are few and far between.

There have been times when I played more than others, but I’ve been a road comic for a quarter of a century, so I’ve always played golf on the road because you have a lot of time to kill.

If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it’s being true to their nature… that’s what takes a long time to learn.

I see myself as a comic but the acting helps sell tickets for gigs.

I wouldn’t overall say that “The Diagnosis” is a funny book. I would say that it has comic moments. It’s a modern tragedy.
