Grant MorrisonI write every day, for most of the day, so it's just about turning into metaphor whatever's going on in my life, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into cash via words. I use everything. Turning life into stories is how I make sense of my experience.
Grant MorrisonAfraid? Batman's not afraid of anything. It's me. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that The Joker may be right about me. SometimesโฆI question the rationality of my actions. And Iโm afraid that when I walk through those asylum gates... when I walk into Arkham and the doors close behind me... itโll be just like coming home.
