My James Taylor albums sat quite comfortably next to my Rush and Aerosmith collections.

In the past, there's reasons why 'The Goon' wasn't made; it's because people were afraid of edgy animation. Now, I think that 'Deadpool' has proved that that audience is out there in a bigger way than some people thought.
What works for me in 'Indiana Jones' is the fact that I can project myself onto the character. Maybe if I was cool enough, I could do what he does. But I can't do that if the story breaks the rules of reality in too large of a degree.
In 'Deadpool,' we stayed far away from the shiny, clean X-Men world. It's really the seedy underbelly of what's been shown in other superhero films.
I think 'Deadpool' worked because of what it was. I think 'Deadpool' worked because it was funny. I think 'Deadpool' worked because it didn't take itself seriously. That's why it worked as an R-rated film.
'Goon' is very much an action - it's got a lot of heart, it's got a lot of comedy, it's got a lot of similarities to what I think was successful in 'Deadpool,' and so I think it's not a stretch to compare those two things and say the world is a little more ready than they used to be for this kind of material.
The reason I love comics and have collected them for 37 years is because I always wanted to be an illustrator and a writer - and comics are really the perfect blend of those two mediums.
I don't look at 'Deadpool' and think, 'Oh, that's a perfect movie.' I look at it and go, 'Oh, God, there's so much stuff I could do better.'
If you look at Keith Richards' hands, from the Rolling Stones, they're these gnarled, arthritic - it looks like people beat his hands with clubs. It's amazing there's so much character in his hands.
If we do another 'Deadpool,' we'd love to have more money for visual effects. But I don't think anybody does good with an excess of time or money.
