Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident

So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration

One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much

I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff

And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It's an avenue to say what you want to say

Cartooning is an honorable thing

So much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
