I'm a comic book artist. So I think to myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coat. So that's what I write about.

But I'm not trying to convince anybody how to vote or how to live. Nobody's ever successfully accused me of being realistic.

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.

An old man dies. A young woman lives. A fair trade.

Hollywood is a town; it's not a medium. And cinema is a medium you can practice anywhere.

People are attempting to bring a superficial reality to superheroes which is rather stupid. They work best as the flamboyant fantasies they are. I mean, these are characters that are broad and big. I don't need to see sweat patches under Superman's arms. I want to see him fly.

Sometimes the solitary voice can be the best one.
