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."

Nancy's got a guardian angel. Seven feet plus of muscle and mayhem that goes by the name of Marv.

News objectivity is a twentieth-century myth. We only complain about propaganda when we don't agree with it.

Ladies. Gentlemen. You have eaten well. You've eaten Gotham's wealth. Its spirit. Your feast is nearly over. From this moment on...none of you are safe.

The day you write to please everyone you no longer are in journalism. You are in show business.

I prefer to write and draw in the privacy of my home and with total freedom and then take it to the lion's den.

In a way, 'Sin City''s designed to be paced somewhere between an American comic book and Japanese manga. Working in black and white, I realized that the eye is less patient, and you have to make your point, and sometimes repeat it. Slowing things down is harder in black and white, because there isn't as much for the eye to enjoy.
