“One of the saddest days of my life was when my mother told me Superman did not exist. I was a comic book reader. I read comic books and I just loved them because even in the depths of the ghetto, you just thought, 'heâ€™s coming. I just donâ€™t know when because he always shows up and saves all the good people.â€™ I was maybe in the fourth grade, fifth grade; I was like â€˜Mom you think Supermanâ€™s coming?â€™ and she said â€˜Superman is not real.â€™ She thought I was crying because itâ€™s like Santa Claus is not real. I was crying because there was no one coming with enough power to save us.”

“Of course there is nothing that cannot be done incorrectly.”
