There is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don't want to work.

But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will

I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work

But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression

It's interesting, because in the corporate stuff there's a dichotomy there, depending on the creator. Even what, in essence, may be a very safe corporate approach, there is some stuff that is allowed to be pushed

But I'm aware of the fact that I'm working in a commercial venue where I'm producing something that I wouldn't normally be approaching the way I'm doing it

If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special
