We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away.

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.

For whatever the future holds, one thing is certain... It just won't be the same.

I didn't put you in a prison, Evey. I just showed you the bars.

There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse if often closer to the truth. Stories shape the world. They exist independently of people, and in places quite devoid of man, there may yet be mythologies.

Things are tough all over, cupcake, an' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike...except in California.

I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.
