Andy Diggle (original script): "LENNY ZERO, a mid-echelon Mega-City criminal with the effortlessly cool manner of Steve McQueen or George Clooney ... He's a tough-guy, but lean and rangy rather than overtly muscular. He has short, spiky-cropped hair, wears wraparound slit-lens NightShades, a dinosaur-skin jacket and Kalvin Kleen jeans."
Lenny Zero: "Me? I'm nobody. A ghost. A hole in the crowd... a big, fat zero." Judge Dredd Megazine 4.01.
Lenny Zero (talking to Dredd): "Yeah, I went rogue. I was in love. But how would you know how that feels-- when the woman you'd die for turns around and sticks a knife right through your friggin' heart..." Judge Dredd Megazine 4.02.
Lenny Zero (narrating): "One thing I've learned, the Big Meg is a predator. Show fear, and it'll eat you alive. Face it down, and it'll roll over for you." Judge Dredd Megazine 4.14.
Lenny Zero: "All I was supposed to care about was the law. But after fifteen years on the street, you start to realise the law ain't got nothin' to do with right an' wrong. It's dog eat dog out there, an' the Judges are just the wolves with the sharpest teeth. Wasn't 'til I met Mona that it all finally came into focus. I realised I'd been livin' a lie." Judge Dredd Megazine 4.15.
Lenny Zero: "You just gotta know how to play the game. You gotta make your own rules... an' you gotta not get caught." 2000 AD prog 1792.
Mink (reading Zero's mind): "He's mostly front. It's a riot in there. Guy's more conflicted than a fatty at a food fight. Lot of secrets swirling around..." 2000 AD prog 1793.
Mink: "You need to learn to trust people, Lenny. Because right now, all you do is use them... and unless you wise up, you're gonna get them all killed." 2000 AD prog 1795.
Mink: "We're all just means to an end for you, aren't we?" 2000 AD prog 1796.
