I've never had any interest in retelling stories from my youth.

Violence is stupid. Even as a last resort, it only ever begets more of the same.

I realized that for fantasy and science fiction, especially from my youth, white was the default. Luke Skywalker was in the lead, or even if you were a hobbit, you're going to be white. That was an extremely old-fashioned, obviously really narrow-minded way to look at things.

Well, I always talk about how I used to work at an insane asylum and stuff, which is true, but to be honest, I just make crap up more than anything else.

I'm really happiest living life 22 pages at a time and putting things in little boxes on pages.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person's hands, and I don't think many screenwriters can say that.

After ten years of toiling away in Hollywood, I realized that there's no better place for new ideas than comics.
