Comics seldom move me the way I would be moved by a novel or movie.

Even if I only had 10 readers, I'd rather do the book for them than for a million readers online.

I think if you had different artists approaching the material in different styles, that's very different. I think it's an interesting thing to discover, what's present in the work even when you're shifting the styles. I've just found it a much stronger way to work.

For me, the whole process involves envisioning this Ghost World comic book in my head as I'm working.

I have this certain vision of the way I want my comics to look; this sort of photographic realism, but with a certain abstraction that comics can give. It's kind of a fine line.

I'm always looking for things I imagine must exist, but don't - this is usually the impetus to create that thing myself.

I try personally not to be nostalgic.
