Though to the average person that you'll meet on an airplane, if you tell them you draw comics, they'll still have sort of the same response - not like that's seeped into the culture at large, that comics are not just for kids.

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.

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.

I never feel there's anything I can't do.

I had no television when I was little, just a stack of old, beat-up comics from the 1950s and 1960s.

I enjoy the opportunity to use swear symbols. The reader reads into them something worse than what you normally would have. They work as this outburst of incoherent anger. I've found ways to write around swearing that are much more effective, rather than going for what someone really would say.

I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.
