The past can't hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.

No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.

When I was working upon the ABC books, I wanted to show different ways that mainstream comics could viably have gone, that they didn't have to follow 'Watchmen' and the other 1980s books down this relentlessly dark route. It was never my intention to start a trend for darkness. I'm not a particularly dark individual.

There's no such thing as quitting. Just sometimes there's a longer pause between relapses.

You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.

We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.

Never despair. Never surrender.
