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.

There are certain comics that just seem like they have this perfect balance between dialogue and image that I can't not read. I'll want to save it for later, and the next thing I know, I'm reading it. That's what I'm kind of trying to do with my comics.

I was 30 before I made a living that was not embarrassing.

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.

Everybody just lets the media do their thinking for them... that's why you'll never hear any reggae on the radio!

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.

Certainly it's great to be able to talk to your friends about something. They might mention a film, and you can find all about it, and you don't have to wait months until you can find a book that might cover the subject and keep it in your head. You can have that kind of immediacy. But there's also something about it, where all the knowledge seems kind of fleeting. All the stuff I learn about in that way, I can be interested in for a day and then it's gone.
