Top 100 Spider Man Sayings
#1. Yes, 'Spider-Man' has had an infinite capacity to trouble and disappoint. But it's also been the greatest triumph of my entire career.
Michael Cohl
#2. I'm a wall to wall geek. I love sci fi; I've had a crush on Spider-Man since I was five years old, and there's an uncomfortably large shelf in my living room just for my comics.
Katie Findlay
#3. I'm not really a Spider-Man fan. I'm more of a Batman guy.
Denis Leary
#4. My hero in comic books is Jack Kirby: 'Spider-Man,' 'Fantastic Four,' 'Captain America,' Marvel Comics. He was really the basis for Marvel Comics.
Walter Mosley
#5. I was into Spider Man when I was a kid and that was the only comic I've ever read.
Idris Elba
#6. I grew up reading comics. I was primarily an 'X-Men' fan, but I definitely dressed up as Spider-Man for Halloween when I was, like, 12 years old. Maybe younger than that.
Jake Epstein
#7. I was listening to the inclusiveness of Spider-Man, and why he's so appealing to so many people, but I didn't connect it all at first.
Brian Michael Bendis
#8. There's so much I'm interested in that I didn't discover in high school. For 'The Amazing Spider-Man', because Gwen is a scientist, we went to a lab in San Diego, and we were learning about biology. And I'm fascinated! Because I never went to biology class in high school.
Emma Stone
#9. I'm the first one in line to go watch 'Spider-Man', but there's definitely something in me that makes me want to go to a movie and see something that makes me feel good about life.
America Ferrera
#10. When I was in primary school, I was given a five-line script in 'Anansi the Spider Man,' and I decided to just improv and make it my own. For a second, I felt like Kevin Hart because everyone was laughing. I just continued to do it. Why not?
John Boyega
#11. I just remember how cool and exciting and crazy it seemed when Marvel was giving this new 'Ultimate Spider-Man' title to this crime writer Brian Michael Bendis who had never really done any superhero stuff before.
Jason Aaron
#12. How Superheroes Make Money:
- Spider-Man knits sweaters.
- Superman screw the lids on pickle jars.
- Iron Man, as you would suspect, just irons.
Jim Benton
#13. Not to be confused with Spider-Man's other girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, who is a skank and doesn't love him like I do.
Emma Stone
#14. I collected X-Men, Spider-Man, and Daredevil comics. I definitely had a few Captain America comics lying around in those protective plastic baggies.
Kenneth Choi
#15. I think I related more literally to the early 'Spider-Man' comics from Steve Ditko because it could be upfront and direct about the problems of being a kid. He captured being a teenager so beautifully.
Gilbert Hernandez
#16. The world of Ultimate Spider-Man is funny. I can't imagine a live-action film where he's Principal Coulson and dealing with some of the pranks from these guys.
Clark Gregg
#17. If you can feel like a good man in your 40s, you can feel like a better man in your 50s, a Superman in your 60s, and maybe a Spider-Man in your 70s.
Tom Hanks
#18. There's a punk rock quality to Peter Parker, that I identified with when I read the comics [Spider-Man], and that I really liked. He has this chip on his shoulder.
Marc Webb
#19. I didn't read comics, growing up. I watched a lot of movies, and those were my comic books. And then, my exposure really increased by becoming affiliated with Spider-Man.
Emma Stone
#20. I want to be a superhero, I want to be Spider-Man or Batman. Will you let me know if you have any connections? Let's make it happen.
Stephan James
#21. I know that sounds weird, but it's hard to be scared or even angry at a guy in Spider-Man pajamas,- Greg

Chris Columbus
#23. My reason for getting into the film business was a Spider-Man comic called 'The Night Gwen Stacy Died' when I was a kid; it changed my life.
Chris Columbus
#24. He's getting away you idiots! Shoot him. I'm wearing Spider-Man underpants!
Cuthbert Soup
#25. When you tell people you're a playwright, their eyes sort of glaze over. But when you say you write the 'Fantastic Four' or 'Spider-Man,' they perk up. It's a touchstone that has gained more credibility as artistic expression.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
#26. So all you have to do is get in touch with Spider-Man?
Janet Evanovich
#27. As an adolescent, Spider-Man was what got me through tough times in terms of being a skinny kid.
Andrew Garfield
#28. In comics, you have to imagine what happens. I really loved it; I loved collecting. I loved following the adventures and figuring out what was going to happen next. I was a huge X-Men fan; I was a huge Spider-Man fan, and, to large degree, I remain one. It's literature for me; it's art.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
#29. I grew up in Canada and was a huge Spider-Man fan, and never thought of Spider-Man as an American hero.
Jake Epstein
#30. I've met so many of my idols, but the one person that has eluded me is Bono. But because he's done 'Spider-Man,' I keep thinking maybe, through a Broadway connection, somehow our paths will eventually merge.
Idina Menzel
#31. We both liked the idea but couldn't figure out a way to get up to the roof. Vince had just seen the Spider-Man movie and suggested we shoot webs out of our wrists and swing up there. We asked Vince not to contribute any more ideas.
Chris Jericho
#32. Trust him, I said. Trust Superman, Spider-man, E.T., the Ghost of Christmas Present . . . whoever the hell.
Janet Evanovich
#33. Comming from your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Stan Lee
#34. Jesus, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spider-Man?
Mark Millar
#35. Spider-Man: "Why'd it have to be Logan? If it had been Reed or Tony we would've already built a time machine out of bamboo and palm fronds by now and been on our way.
Jason Aaron
#36. Children from like 8 and even up to the college age - Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark - they process information so quickly and it's not because of attention deficit or short attention span.
Thomas Haden Church
#37. I was not a giant comic book fan as a kid, but to the extent that I did read comics, Spider-Man was always my favorite guy.
J.K. Simmons
#38. Every generation has their favorite Spider-Man television show.
Jeph Loeb
#39. I think Spider-Man [film], the first one particularly, really figured out the formula of, "Oh, tell the story that they told in the comic. It was compelling. That's why it's iconic."
Joss Whedon
#40. I'm not a really big comic book person. I know the typical ones - 'Spider-Man' and 'Wonder Woman' and 'Storm' and that stuff. But don't quiz me, because I'm not good at things like that.
Christian Serratos
#42. The great irony is that women are accused of making romantic comedies, as if it's a bad thing, but [(500) Days of Summer] Marc Webb makes a romantic comedy and he gets Spider-Man [as his next project]. Are you kidding me? You cannot win.
Manohla Dargis
#43. (Six claws.. the Spider-God comes.)
Wolverine: Spider-God? What the hell?
Spider-Man: Yep, that's me, just your friendly neighborhood Spider-God!
Jason Aaron
#44. Way back in the '70s, I was approached to talk about the story I'd write for a Spider-Man movie. They also talked to me about Batman. I had to think about it, but that was way, way back when.
John Carpenter
#45. I don't know that a movie like 'Daredevil' did better for having Ben Affleck then 'Spider-Man' did having Tobey Maguire, who was a relative unknown at the time.
Jon Favreau
#46. What's cool about Spider-Man is that it's everybody - anyone, you put on the suit, anyone believes that you're Spider-Man. That's what's charming about the character. He's anyone. He's a huge nerd that ends up being this huge superhero.
Jake Epstein
#47. Oh, come on," Clary said. "You're a vampire, not Spider-Man.
Cassandra Clare
#48. We're creating a different universe with different rules and a different tone and different villains. We were very careful to honor the iconography of Spider-Man, but we wanted to tell it in a new and different way [in the film].
Marc Webb
#49. Comedy mocks the vanity of visions of rational control. The person who can joke amidst a confrontation with evil, like the quick-witted Spider-Man, must be reconciled to the permanent imperfections of a corrupted world populated by fallen creatures.
Peter Leithart
#50. I always loved as a kid reading 'Spider-Man,' and the 'Fantastic Four' would show up ... it was all about that larger universe.
Peyton Reed
#51. The kids all literally think I'm Spider-Man, and they ask me how I shoot my webs. It's flattering and crazy, but it's Spider-Man they're in awe of, not Jake Epstein.
Jake Epstein
#52. More than any other super-hero, 'Spider-Man' presents us with something very local in its ethics. It's not messianic. It's far more tangible.
Rhys Ifans
#53. I would want to have Spider-Man's web slinging abilities. I always thought it'd be cool to swing around the city jumping off of buildings and free diving.
Denzel Whitaker
#54. I think one of the things about Peter Parker that is so great, and what has made him and Spider-Man last so long is he is a kid that we all feel connected to, he's not an alien, he's not a millionaire, he's just this kid that has trouble asking girls out.
Marc Webb
#55. It took a while for the first 'Blade' to get made, and Marvel decided they liked the Whistler character so much, when Blade guest starred on the 'Spider-Man' cartoon, they put Whistler on the cartoon, and the movie hadn't come out yet.
David S.Goyer
#56. Didn't Gandalf say "With great power comes great responsibility"? (If it wasn't Gandalf, maybe it was Thomas Jefferson. Or Spider-Man's uncle.)
Tom Angleberger
#57. Superman, spider man, batman, all lost their parents in their childhood, they all had to live their lives against the conspiracy of villains, and even after these miseries they don't hesitate to save people or to forgive the villains, that's why they are superheroes.
Abrar Ahmed Chowdhury
#58. The director of 500 Days of Summer is doing the Spider-Man movie. That's not necessarily the movies I want to make, but it's all about the story, and if you connect to the story, and you feel you can tell that story better than anyone else, then great. Jon Favreau killed Iron Man, I loved it.
Katie Aselton
#59. Spider-Man is a school boy that's looking for his parents.
Rhys Ifans
#60. I always loved comic books when I was growing up, and Spider-Man was definitely a character I gravitated towards because I loved the story of an average teenager having super powers.
Drake Bell
#61. I caught a glimpse of him thinking of the final combat in the movies, Harry versus Voldemort, Spider-Man versus the Green Goblin.
Joss Stirling
#62. Seth Meyers and I wrote a 'Spider-Man' comic.
Bill Hader
#63. For Hollywood to make 'Spider-Man,' only to redo the movie a couple years later, just boggles the mind. To recast 'The Incredible Hulk' for a third time? I don't get it.
Bryan Lee O'Malley
#64. Let's be realistic - 90% of superheroes are male. Personally, I prefer Superman, Batman and Spider-Man to Wonder Woman. Not that I don't like female superheroes, but watching male superheroes gives me a high.
Kajol
#65. For every person who passes on the opportunity to write Spider-Man or Superman, I guarantee there are 5000 hungry writers who would give their eye-teeth to do it. But just because they want to do it, it doesn't mean they are capable of doing it.
Greg Rucka
#66. Each generation needs a 'Spider-Man' to mirror their angst.
Rhys Ifans
#67. If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.
Ben Wheatley
#68. When I got the episode where Spider-Man meets Aunt May (voiced by Misty Lee), it was another one of those things where I was like, "I can't believe I have a scene with Aunt May. That's just amazing to me." And they drew her a lot younger and hotter then the Aunt May that I remember.
Clark Gregg
#69. I never thought that Spider-Man would become the world wide icon that he is. I just hoped the books would sell and I'd keep my job.
Stan Lee
#70. There was of course no point in trying to monitor Eisman. He saw himself as a crusader, a champion of the underdog, an enemy of sinister authority. He saw himself, roughly speaking, as Spider-Man.
Michael Lewis
#71. You are Spider-Man!" she exclaimed.
Simon glanced down from his perch halfway up the pillar. "That makes you Mary Jane. She has red
hair,
Cassandra Clare
#72. I'm really into Spider-Man, in particular. Since I was a little kid.
Stephanie Sigman
#73. I thought, 'I loved Batman, I loved Spider-Man, I love all these characters, but Catwoman is really different from any other one.'
Denise Di Novi
#74. Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.
Zac Efron
#75. Back in the early 1970s, what got me and another 400,000 kids out of bed without needing to be called twice was the latest issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.
Dave Morris
#76. I was a Spidey fan as a kid. I always liked the complexity and the teenaged angst that Spider-Man, Peter Parker, always had to deal with. It was kind of a deeper, darker storytelling that just good-guy-beats-bad-guy.
Jack Coleman
#77. 'The Cape' is a really good comic! They invented the whole character, and now they've built a book of 'The Cape' for the show. When I was a kid, I used to love Batman, and I loved Spider-Man. My favorite was this guy called Judge Dredd. I know they made a movie of that in the '90s.
James Frain
#78. I loved Spider-Man, Spider-Man was the man.
Kel Mitchell
#79. Agent Coulson takes the work very seriously. He certainly has some fun with Spider-Man and the others, but he takes each of their tasks, including when they get involved with the drama club, way too seriously. The adventures that they come up with are really exciting.
Clark Gregg
#80. When I was twenty-five, I went on exactly four dates with a much older guy whom I'll call Peter Parker. I'm calling him Peter Parker because the actual guy's name was also alliterative, and because, well, it's my book and I'll name a guy I dated after Spider-Man's alter ego if I want to.
Mindy Kaling
#81. I had a Spider-man costume when I was about three, and I lost the mask. So I went to the underwear drawer and put a pair of red pants on my head. My dad came home and just laughed, and I ran into my room and burst into tears.
Emun Elliott
#82. When I was a kid ... if I couldn't get a ride to the comic book store, I would walk a mile and a half each way to get the latest issues of 'Batman' and 'Spider-Man' and 'X-Men.' I could not choose one over the other.
Jarrett J. Krosoczka
#83. I was darker than he was. And I'm not just talking about our skin coloring. He told me I had a tragic vision of life. "That's why you like Spider-Man.
Benjamin Alire Saenz
#84. Look at every action movie in Hollywood. Every leading man from Spider-Man to Batman to James Bond, 'Bourne Identity', every one of them possesses martial arts skills.
Donnie Yen
#85. For those of you that have been following Ultimate Spider-Man, you know how we took that show and brought it to the next level of what Marvel Television is doing. And Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. was the next level of what we wanted to get to.
Jeph Loeb
#86. Whereas Superman is a godlike guy from another planet and Batman is this mysterious, unknowable billionaire, everyone in 'Spider-Man' is human and flawed.
Rhys Ifans
#88. Everyone can guess what 'Corn Flakes' tastes like, even if you've never had them. But what, pray tell, does 'High School Musical' or 'Spider-Man' cereal possibly taste like? In this late era, we have reached the ultimate deracination between product image and what actually sits on our spoon.
Paul Di Filippo
#89. People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D, and that's a very big deal. It's never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see 'Spider-Man' than a romantic comedy.
Michael Lynton
#90. Let's roll out, Batman."
"I'm Batman and you're Robin?"
"Don't make me laugh. I'm Spider-Man."
"Then we live in different universes. I'm DC and you're Marvel."
Duncan rolled his eyes. "Can't we all get along? And since when are there different universes?
Mimi Strong
#91. I think 'Spider-man' is a pop culture rock show that was meant to be in arenas.
Michael Cohl
#92. I was always a fan of Spider-Man and most superheroes. There aren't a whole lot of little boys out there that aren't.
Chris Zylka
#93. Venom first made his appearance some years ago in a Spider-Man book, and was a huge best-seller.
Peter Milligan
#94. Sir, we're now introducing the love interest for Spider-Man."
"Yes, just make sure it's organic. That it doesn't feel like it comes out of nowhere."
"We had her fall on him, Sir."
"Classy. I love it.
Jason Aaron
#95. It's hard to get a movie made about characters these days. We're in a climate where, unless it's based on a toy or it's a superhero where somewhere it ends in man - like Spider-Man, Superman or Iron Man - it's hard to get it made.
Doug Liman
#96. That's one of the things that I've loved about 'Spider-Man' and Marvel in general. The characters all have dimension.
Jack Coleman
#97. When Ellen Datlow was running the fiction at 'Omni' in the late '80s and into the '90s, I had a subscription. It was one of two subscriptions I'd saved for, the other being 'Spider-Man.' And they each opened my mind and my heart in wonderful ways.
Stephen Graham Jones
#98. And you managed to leave the house and be the hero. Who do you think you are, Spider-Man?
Kim Harrington
#99. The angel has confided in me that he is going to ask the Lord if he can become Spider-Man. [ ... ] The children need heroes, he says. I think he just wants to swing from buildings in tight red jammies.
Christopher Moore
#100. Spider-Man: The Phoenix Force is a crazy powerful cosmic firebird entity that for some reason seems to be attracted to earthbound redheads (I can relate).
Jason Aaron
