I think I've had the fantasy of a ray-gun that could erase the world from the time I was a very little kid.

That's been my main interest for the last 15 years, is to really make sure the story and the characters take precedence over everything else, and that I give them everything I can to make them exist as actual people.

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 think I'm gonna attach myself to the sinking ship that is book publishing.

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

Often I'll do research just to get a time period correct, but I didn't have to for the '70s... I feel like I can close my eyes and still see it so clearly.

I have a very low tolerance for animation. I'm used to the perfect integrity you get from drawing your own comics. There's something about that that animation always loses.
