For example, I noticed that every single kid in the high school in 'The Death-Ray' is based on somebody I went to high school with.

Comics seldom move me the way I would be moved by a novel or movie. I say this as someone who would rather read comics than watch movies, listen to music, anything. But it's not an operatic medium. I hear other people talk about being moved to tears by comics. I can't imagine that.

I lose faith in everything else, but rarely in my work. If I start to get bored, I change it to make it more interesting. I try not to take it too seriously, but I also try to never cheat or hurry things along.

In an art school it's very hard to tell who is the best.

As soon as I'm finished with it, it feels like an impersonal project. Like, "Well, I did another book."

I believe in the transformative power of cinema. It is only through this shared dream-experience that we can transcend the oppressive minutiae of daily existence and find some spiritual connection in the deeper reality of our mutual desire.

I'm not opposed to comics on the Internet. It's just not interesting to me.
