I'm doing research for a large comic book on the Beat Generation guys - Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and those guys

Am I a guy who writes about himself in a comic book, or am I just a character in that book? If I die, will that character keep going, or will he just fade away?

Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.

I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences.

It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected. That's what I want to write about.

I realize that I'm pretty flawed, but you know - I haven't killed anybody yet.

Life is about women, gigs, an' bein' creative.
