Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That's one of the things they're there for.

Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here.

I'm not going to complain about the fact that people are paying attention to my work. I suppose that wouldn't be fair.

I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.

You can never escape me. Bullets don't harm me. Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I KNOW pain. Sometimes I share it. With someone like you.

The larger-than-life thing is definitely what I'm after. I've always drawn dark stories. Occasionally, I'll try a perfect hero, but it's a real stretch for me. I like 'em warts and all, and obsessive and weird.

Working with the kind of talent that I've gotten to work with, like the cast of Sin City, it makes me think probably more fully dimensionally about what is going on behind their eyes. But I draw the way I draw, and ain't nothing gonna change that. Although, I draw Marv and I think, "Boy, I could throw a little Mickey [Rourke] in there."
