I love you and I will always, always wait for you but I can't let what happened to William and I happen again. I can't. I have to fight back. You of all understand that.
Felicity
They even told us NOT to watch the shows. That comic[s] SHOULD inspire the shows and not vice versa.
Juan Ferreyra
Let’s say you’ve been given the position of writing Green Arrow from scratch [...] Clean slate. You might say, ‘Okay, I’m going to write this new character,’ and when someone says, ‘Well, what about Black Canary,’ you might say… ‘nope.’ That means you completely misunderstand these characters.
Geoff Johns
My favorite fans of the shows are the people who are not comic book fans. The truth of the matter is that a wildly successful comic book today sells 80,000 copies, but 80,000 viewers does not keep any show on the air. None of these shows exist without people who are not fans of the comics. We’re not burying you in backstory and the minutiae of who these characters are.
Marc Guggenheim
It would be a pretty two-dimensional world if you simply followed with what the comic [has done].
Stephen Amell
One of the things that I’m most proud about is that, 25 years from now, if they made a Green Arrow film, they would have to make it with John Diggle and Felicity Smoak and Thea Queen and Sara Lance and a lot of the characters that we’ve brought in and have created as we’ve gone along. I hope that not only do those characters start to exist in the comic books if they haven’t already – and some of them have – but I would hope that if you were looking at the blueprint of how to do a successful Arrow show, people would be like, ‘Yeah, you have to have those characters – those characters are a part of it now.’ And the fact that we created a bunch of them, or at least reconstituted some of them in some instances, that’s the most impactful thing that we’ve done.

Oliver: You're a really good father.
Lance: So are you.
Oliver: I had a really good example.
Lance: Your dad was a good man.
Oliver: I'm not talking about my dad.
Diaz: This is my city! You want to stop me?! You’re going to have to kill me!
Siren: He's right, Oliver. Oh, and the movie with the dog was Old Yeller.
Okay. We’re going to do this another way. This time, I’m not going to count! Your daughter’s brains will be splattered on your face!
Diaz
Don’t let [Diaz] take this city!
Siren
Oliver: They don’t care if Siren is collateral damage.
Dinah: So, what are you saying?
Oliver: I’m saying it will be up to us to keep her safe.
And I'm sorry that [Felicity] thinks I'm changing the rules on her, but I am changing the rules on her because things have changed.
Oliver
