The more you humanize superhero characters, the more they're relatable. The more they have a vulnerable point, whether it's emotionally or their superpower, or whatever, we relate the superpower or the loss of a superpower to their emotions. It's just fun to walk through that.

Bryan Cranston

I always at home as a kid tried to move something with your hand and it doesn't move and then you get to do it in a movie. I mean my superpower is quickness but you know what I'm saying. You get a superpower and you're like "Man this is awesome. I get to pretend I have a superpower."

Evan Peters

I really love writing comedy. Writing romantic comedy is even nicer because you get to write about how insane we all act when we're falling in love.

Pearl Cleage

The world is now unipolar and contains o-nly o-ne superpower. Canada shares a continent with that superpower.

Stephen Harper

In the final analysis, terror is also another proof of the fact that the superpower is not really a superpower. It was vulnerable.

Ulrich Beck

My alternative to American superpower is the UN and I might add when China becomes the worlds greatest superpower you will need it too.

Tony Benn

My acting has always been in the world of comedy, but in my writing, other than writing sketches, I really am drawn to the balance between comedy and drama. I like things that sort of toe that line of one minute you're in this emotional space and then all of the sudden something happens.

Jim Rash

They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

I'm writing a political comedy that takes place in Canada in Quebec. It's funny. Saying political comedy is a little redundant but it's a first. I've never done any comedy per se.

Philippe Falardeau

And writing comedy and it really taught me how to kind of like craft jokes, it sounds like weird but really focus on crafting jokes and trying to make the writing really sharp. At the same time I did improv comedy in college, and that helped with understanding the performance aspect of comedy, you know, because it's different when you improv something vs. when you write it and they're both kind of part of my process now.

Nicholas Stoller

In the U.K. I'm probably better known as a comedy writer - or certainly that's my background is in writing comedy.

Charlie Brooker

I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing comedy, is a powerful tool for anyone.

Steven Moffat

I have, for a few years, been writing comedy prose - short pieces for my blog - because I found it to be a good way to write while I was on a TV show. It was different enough from my scripts that it felt like a break, but it still was comedy and very fun. I like to do comedy!
