I try personally not to be nostalgic.

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

I try to only work on the screenplays for a few hours a day when I'm in my most voluble mood, just sort of writing whatever comes into my head. It's a very freeing thing.

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

I think a comic looks better in the magazine. The colors are designed to be on paper, not illuminated on screen. I don't like the aspect of people reading it for free. When people get things for free, they tend to not take them as seriously. But I don't know. I'm sure 10 times more people are reading it online than in the actual paper.

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

It's a challenge to express real life in dramatic terms. In an entirely "made-up" story, you are sometimes overwhelmed by the infinite possibilities.
