Arthur Quote by Stan Lee

“I remember when I was a kid, I loved Sherlock…” quote by Stan Lee — Download Open image

“I remember when I was a kid, I loved Sherlock Holmes. I thought Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the greatest writers, because I felt I knew Sherlock Holmes. He existed to me. When I went to England the first thing I did was go to Baker Street to look for his house. I think you've got to try to make all of your characters as empathetic and realistic as possible.”
