I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights. – Frank Miller
Im 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 coats. So thats what I write about. – Frank Miller
The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. Hes dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that hes a hero the whole time. – Frank Miller
Whats happened with computer technology is perfectly timed for someone with my set of skills. I tell stories with pictures. What I love about CGI is that if I can think it, it can be put on the screen. – Frank Miller
Look, at the same time that I dont want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. Id be a baby and a fool to be like, Why are there cameras taking pictures of me? when Im on a billboard for a movie. I think thats a very absurd concept. – Jonah Hill
