One cannot grow beauty in the soil of hate and pain.
RICK REMENDER, Uncanny X-Force, No. 15, Nov. 2011
You always romanticize the past as soon as the future begins to frighten you.
RICK REMENDER, Uncanny X-Force, No. 16, Dec. 2011
There are only three kinds of people. LEADERS. Those who take charge, build, inspire, and create. FOLLOWERS. Those who support leaders and work to achieve mutually beneficial goals.... [and] DESTROYERS. Destroyers cannot find it within themselves to follow anyone, their hatred and insecurity is too pure to see strength in any OTHER being. The utterly lack the ability to inspire or create, so they do the only thing left to them -- they tear down all they come in contact with.

Dad was supportive, intelligent, read to me as a kid, left me a trillion dollars. It's hard to complain.

It wasn't until I'd met everyone else's measure of success that I realized I'd failed myself.

There is no authority but yourself.
RICK REMENDER, Black Science, No. 1, Nov. 2013
Nothing can compare to creating characters and worlds out of thin air with your friends and making a book exactly the way you think it should be made, pure creative freedom, purity of intention, with no boundaries.
RICK REMENDER, author's note, Black Science, No. 1, Nov. 2013
It's much harder to say "I'm going to kill three of the biggest characters in your universe in a gruesome bloodbath." There can be a lot of differing opinions in a mainstream comic book, you know? "Rogue would never do this!" But I can say, "No, Rogue suffered the death of Charles Xavier and it broke her down and she stumbled into a dark place and she started fixating on the Scarlet Witch as the cause of it all" — which, there is a logical chain of events that lead to the Scarlet Witch. And in the confusion, she thought Wanda was up to doing it again and she did what she thought was best.

To get through a war, a man needs something bigger than himself to fight for.
RICK REMENDER, Black Science, No. 4, Feb. 2014
I think the biggest mistake you can make in creator owned work is having info-dumps like, "Here’s how this world works!" It's just like someone playing dungeon master and boring me with the backstory of their f***ing world. Just bring me into you story and get it cooking.
RICK REMENDER, interview, Nov. 26, 2013
Institutional learning facilities are traps intended to control the mind, subdue the soul, and keep you in debt until you're too old to cause trouble.... Step-by-step, inch-by-inch they will kill your ingenuity. Brick by brick, they'll enclose your mind, telling you what's right to think and what isn't.

It's the denial of pleasure that leads to cancer. It's the repression of desire that leads to the crime. So I skip the middleman. Allowing myself the crime in the first place.
RICK REMENDER, Uncanny X-Force, No. 1, December 2010
There is a point in all great endeavors, a test of will that defines the effort. We keep going--and maybe succeed--or we quit and certainly fail.
RICK REMENDER, Black Science, No. 16, July 2015
Titles are just constructs to help us label one another, to quickly assess what someone is worth without thinking too much.
RICK REMENDER, Black Science, No. 15, June 2015
Seeking validations from institutions only leads to work in more institutions.
RICK REMENDER, Black Science, No. 15, June 2015
We are known forever by the tracks we leave.
