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

I sort of jumped out of movies and into the lifeboat of comics. I loved it right away. It was the opposite of film school. Whatever was in my imagination could end up in the finished product. There were just no limitations.

It was interesting looking back at the '80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time - the cliché of history repeating itself.

They hurt you. You hurt 'em back. Or maybe it is the other way around. Whatever. Someday you might find a way to forgive each other. But it won't be like it used to 'cause that pain never really goes away.

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

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 grew up with a sister I was very close with and a mom who was a powerful influence on my life. I was always close with women.
