I come to Comic-Con in San Diego because this is where those fans are - those to whom I owe the longevity of my career.
Adam West
You have no idea the people I meet when I do these Comic-Cons. When I go sign autographs and say hello to people, I see everything!
I've never been to Comic-Con, but I'm certainly aware from this side of the Atlantic that it's a very important part of film marketing now, even when the films are not directly linked to a comic.
Alex Garland
Comic-Con is my jam!
Alycia Debnam-Carey
Just going to Comic-Con alone, that's an unreal experience on its own. I think if everyone in the world could experience that place, it would change their outlook. It's just one big lovefest. It's pretty incredible.
Ari Millen
Oh my God, I'm so excited. I love Comic-Con, it feels like a weird nerd camp. All my nerd friends are there and all the comic book writers I know and then a lot of actors, too, and you hang out with these people for just a few days, but you hang out with them all day, every day. It's like camp - it's like a weird camp. I love it.
Brea Grant
I've played D&D for years. I'm a comic book guy. Comic-Con in San Diego is nerd Christmas for me.
Brian Posehn
Comic-Con is really cool. It's different. I like to people-watch. I like to see the costumes.
Carli Lloyd
Comic-Con is nerd Christmas. People go wanting to have fun.
Chris Hardwick
Comic-Con is interesting because there's so much going on at once, it's literally impossible to do everything. You need clones and some sort of hoverboard so you can surf over the crowd of packed-in nerds.
When I go to Comic-Cons and people line up for autographs, so many people have a story about how they are moved, how they get tearful about what 'Back To The Future' meant to them.
Christopher Lloyd
My publisher's been shipping me to comic-cons, and it seems that my readership overlaps perfectly with the comic-con crowd.
Chuck Palahniuk
I grew up in a small town in Kansas, so I love meeting the fans. Those are the people who spend time out of their day to watch the things that I've done, and I've gotten to do some great supernatural stuff - 'Teen Wolf' and 'The Gates' before that - so it's nice when I get to go to Comic-Con every year.
Colton Haynes
I do these conventions sometimes. We've been doing a lot of 'The Vampire Diaries' conventions, but I do Comic-Con and stuff all over the world. They can be taxing, and they can take it out of you a little bit, but it's just great for the fans.
David Anders
I get fans stopping me and telling me what a bad man I am. I got a lot of that at Comic-Con. I'd tell them, 'Sorry, mate.'
David Bradley
Comic-Con is a special kind of crazy.
Denis O'Hare
Comic-Con was crazy, good crazy... Five minutes after I'm done, the cast of 'Twilight' is where I was sitting.
Erin Morgenstern
'The Squickerwonkers' was the story I wrote when I was on 'The Hobbit.' And I brought it to Comic-Con and sold out a thousand copies I had printed.
Evangeline Lilly
Comic-Con has become more of a pop cultural festival, and to not be included feels like you're missing the biggest celebration of the year.
Felicia Day
I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con.
The cool thing for me is, I go to a lot of conventions - a lot of science fiction conventions like Comic-Con - and there are always a lot of attendants of color. And I think some people believe that black people or people of color are not into science fiction or hero shows or genre shows.
I haven't been to Comic-Con.
I go to Comic-Con every year, generally with some project of some sort.
No true fan wants to go to Comic-Con and get assaulted with a marketing blitz about just any old show.
A-list stars go to Comic-Con to woo the nerd demographic.
My absolute favorite part of Comic-Con is seeing, like, a 'Mass Effect' guy hanging out with a 'Sailor Moon,' and they're just having a great time.
My favorite part of Comic-Con? The groupies.
I like Comic-Con. It's always nice to talk to people who are fans of 'Children's Hospital.'
It's true that once a year I travel to Comic-Con... but there I can quickly lower the lights; I can show them the clips, introduce a few stars. And the spotlight is quickly off me.
This is not to be cocky, but, I go over real well at Comic-Con. I've done quite a few Comic-Cons, and I enjoy the hell out of them. They are so much fun, and so bizarre. I've done the FX Show in Florida, Wizard-World in Chicago, Comic-Con in San Diego, Wonder-Con in San Francisco, the Comic-Con in New York, and I've done them numerous times.
I'm a geek who loves fashion. There's been a reinvention of the word geek. It means being passionate about anything that's under the radar or sort of frowned upon, like Comic-Con.
I love nerds. Comic-Con junkies are the tastemakers of tomorrow. Isn't that funny? The tables have turned.
We live in a bubble sometimes, and you can get out of touch with your fans. You go to the studio, you come home. But coming to Comic-Con is a real opportunity to connect with the people that made your show happen and are responsible for its continued success. It's really humbling.
Comic-Con has been an amazing experience. It's overwhelming, I have to admit, because of the lines and the crowds.
If you want to go on the floor, go in disguise because otherwise you won't be able to. I would just put on a full Darth Vader costume and walk through Comic-Con so I can actually check it out and enjoy it as opposed to being approached by everyone, which is lovely, but it gets very difficult to enjoy because there's so many people there.
Comic-Con fans are so affectionate, and it's always a lovely way to start a new season.
My mother is a Trekkie, and we're from San Diego, so I was going to Comic-Con when I was, like, 7 years old.
Going to Comic-Con was mind-blowing, seeing all these fans and all these people who know my name.
Comic-Con is overwhelming when you have such a long day of press schedules.
Every time I go to Comic-Con, I'm jacked. I want to dress up and walk the floor and answer questions, because I'm excited about it. It's like making new friends.
I never in my career did appearances, like where you go and sign autographs, and you do the comic-cons and all of that stuff, because I wanted, when I stopped wrestling, to go and do that stuff and have it really mean something to somebody, that it hadn't been watered down.
I think that, if the world was a bit more like Comic-Con, we'd all be a little happier.
Every Comic-Con, they have some sort of 'Dr. Horrible' panel. It's very cool!
I was the only human in 'Underworld.' I didn't really get the full gauge of what it is to be in a sci-fi/fantasy project. But 'Almost Human' presented that opportunity for me and the fanbase that is in that world at Comic-Con and, honestly, cons all around the world - you can't deny the power of that fanbase.
I remember the first job I ever had was working on 'Firefly,' and I was talking to Joss Whedon, and he was asking if I was going to Comic-Con. He called me a loser for not going that first year.
My first Comic-Con was when I first met Joss Whedon: He introduced me to that world and I'd never been to a convention before that. He and a bunch of the 'Buffy' and 'Angel' writers were all going down in a big van and he invited me along.
I am a fan of the vampire shows, especially 'True Blood.' I'm obsessed with it. I got to meet the entire cast at Comic-Con and hang out with them. And that was awesome. I basically died and went to heaven.
I don't think I have a demographic. I was at Comic-Con in San Diego recently, and I was doing a signing, and my line was all military guys, young girls, housewives and guys in wheelchairs. There was just everybody all over the place.
I was working in cartoons. I could go to Comic-Con, buy the Hal Jordan ring, I could buy animation cels, but at the end of the day, I come back to an empty apartment. I had a life that was only around me, and when I was broken, my world was broken.
I am a big, big geek at heart and a Sci-fi fan. And I love the Comic-Cons.
