I don't read much of anything online.

I'm not opposed to comics on the Internet. It's just not interesting to me.

You need to be, like, turning down high-paying illustration work because you want to work on your comic. That's when you know you're doing something good.

I try personally not to be nostalgic.

Writing screenplays is very freeing from what you can do in comics in a lot of ways. You can change things around. I can take great delight in writing 40 pages, then just pressing delete and getting rid of it and not thinking about it ever again. Whereas in comics, if I had put that kind of effort into it, I couldn't go on.

You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes.

Avatar is a total nerd thing, and yet our popular culture has somehow made all that stuff acceptable.
