I was thinking the other day that there will never be another form of music that everybody has to respond to - like disco.

I knew how to draw all of the different smokestacks on the old trains and all that stuff, and then I realized that if I can draw trains, which is the thing I was probably the least interested in in the world at the time, I can do anything and find a way into it that will be interesting.

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

Film is a director's medium, and a film set is a complicated military structure - I have to keep reminding myself to stay in my place, or all will burst into chaos.

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

I feel like I understood the language of comics. I had a real fluidity with that medium at a very early age.

I originally just wanted to be an artist.
