It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.

But they always just laugh off everything I say, when really I want absolutely nothing more than to destroy the world they live in and to watch them suffer, alone and miserable, trying to live in my world for a change!

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.

When I go back and reread the stuff, I'm always floored by how deeply personal and revealing it actually is.

Everybody just lets the media do their thinking for them... that's why you'll never hear any reggae on the radio!

In a movie, you have to be mindful that no budget is going to be able to deal with running around the globe at every whim of the writer.

I try personally not to be nostalgic.
