A Quote by Marjorie M. Liu

I've been going to San Diego's Comic-Con every year since 2007 or 2008. The first time I went it was an overwhelming experience because I wasn't expecting all the people; I wasn't even expecting all the joy. I came from a background where, when I was about eighteen or nineteen, I found comic-book fandom. But it was the fandom of online communities. And within those communities there was a tremendous amount of excitement and joy, but I'd never been around people in such a large group setting where this joy was pouring out of them. It was a revelation.

This is not to be cocky, but, I go over real well at Comic-Con. I've done quite a few Comic-Cons, and I enjoy the hell out of them. They are so much fun, and so bizarre. I've done the FX Show in Florida, Wizard-World in Chicago, Comic-Con in San Diego, Wonder-Con in San Francisco, the Comic-Con in New York, and I've done them numerous times.

Kristen Bell

I've played D&D for years. I'm a comic book guy. Comic-Con in San Diego is nerd Christmas for me.

Brian Posehn

It's cool to see wrestling fans that are also comic book creators sort of put their fandom on the page, and then take that fandom and put it on the screen.

Christopher Daniels

I've been in fandom for a really long time. Back in the day, you had to go to a con to engage in fandom, and that was really the only way.

Orlando Jones

Because I've never made this kind of movie before, so I've never even been to Comic-Con. And Hugh and Evangeline keep telling me, 'Oh, my god... This is such Comic-Con fodder. We're going to have such a fun summer!' Is this the kind of thing they show? That length?

Shawn Anthony Levy

I'm not a comic book guy. I've never been to Comic-Con. I don't know anything about that. It's a whole different world.

Scott Glenn

I come to Comic-Con in San Diego because this is where those fans are - those to whom I owe the longevity of my career.

Adam West

Comic-Con has been an amazing experience. It's overwhelming, I have to admit, because of the lines and the crowds.

Kunal Nayyar

We went to Comic-Con and there were people dressed up as the characters. There's a whole canon of Ninjago history that I didn't even know about until the process of making the movie had started. Especially at Comic-Con, I realized that people really, really care about this, and I hope they like it because it's meaningful to them. It did actually change my feelings about it.

Zach Woods

I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con.

Felicia Day

My mother is a Trekkie, and we're from San Diego, so I was going to Comic-Con when I was, like, 7 years old.

Kyle Mooney

Because Comic Con in San Diego is crazy, and it's very commercialized, and it's corporate, and it's all about money and selling, selling, selling... I think people want to go to smaller, specialized cons.

Janet Varney

In real life, I knew that fandom was made up of women, and women of color, and women of all ages. But on the publishing side of comics, it was a lot of white, straight men. It was often jarring to me to be the only women at a meeting or at a panel at a comic-con. Fortunately I had mentors who were not blinded by my gender and who said, "Yes, we know you can write these books." That hasn't been the case for everyone. What gives me great hope is that in the eight to nine years since I've started, I've seen tremendous growth.

Every day, or at least twice a week, take a few minutes and focus on seeing yourself in joy. Feel yourself in joy. Imagine only joy ahead in your life and see yourself basking in it. As you do this the Universe will move all people, circumstances, and events to bring you joy, joy and more joy.

Rhonda Byrne

The joy of doing 'Sandman' was doing a comic and telling people, 'No, it has an end,' at a time when nobody thought you could actually get to the end and stop doing a comic that people were still buying just because you'd finished.

Neil Gaiman

Keep ramping up your level of joy every day. There is no limit to the levels of joy you can reach. You will see change to the degree of joy that you can attain and maintain. The higher the joy you can create within you, the more spectacular the change, and the higher the joy, the faster the change. Your emanation of joy attracts more Joy. The law of attraction will continually send you more feelings of joy!

Rhonda Byrne
