Animal Man: But what happens to me?
Grant Morrison: Like I said. Someone else writes your life. They might play it safe and write you as a straight action superhero who fights animal-inspired supervillains every issue. They might do the obvious and go for shock by turning you into a meat-eater. I don't know.
Animal Man: How can they make me eat meat? I don't eat meat! I don't want to eat meat! I'm a vegetarian.

Grant Morrison: No, I'm a vegetarian. You'll be whatever you're written to be.
—Animal Man, "Deus Ex Machina", Grant Morrison's last issue as writer
Bat-Mite: Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but it's certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots as the tortured avenger crying out for Mommy and Daddy. (Makes the paper disappear.) And besides, those Easter Bunnies looked really scary, right?!
—Batman the Brave And The Bold


Kana: Don't worry, I won't tell this to anybody. I will carefully lock it into my heart... (smiles creepilly) and take it out sometimes to look at it. Yes... intently...

Mika: What the hell?
—Kanamemo

Crow: Why do they need so many writers?

Tom Servo: Oh, they needed one guy for the verbs, one guy for the nouns, somebody for the adjectives, y'know, adverbs, gerunds.
—Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Fugitive Alien
"Early on, I learned that writing in a shared world works a whole lot better if you don't define 'sharing' as 'everything in the lore is up for grabs, no matter who created it'."
—Elaine Cunningham on Realmslore
