I don’t distinguish between magic and art. When I got into magic, I realised I had been doing it all along, ever since I wrote my first pathetic story or poem when I was twelve or whatever. This has all been my magic, my way of dealing with it.

All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.

I felt, if I'm going to react I might as well over react.

I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.

I think that storytelling and creation are very close to what the center of what magic is about. I think not just for me, but for most of the cultures that have had a concept of magic, then the manipulation of language, and words, and thus of stories and fictions, has been very close to the center of it all.

Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.

I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.
