I've probably had my day in the sun. I think I've influenced a lot of comic book writers

It's extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I've written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they're friends

I felt more alone that week than any. Sometimes I'd feel a body lying next to me like an amputee feels a phantom limb. All I did was think about Jennie Gerhardt and Alice Quinn and all the decades of people I had known. The more I thought, the more I felt like crying. Life seemed so sweet and so sad, and so hard to let go of in the end. But hey, man, every day is a brand new deal, right? Just keep on working and something's bound to turn up.

I don't write about certain arguments I have with my wife. I'd get my head torn off if wrote about certain things.

I don't think I made any really big mistakes; it's just that I chose something difficult to do. Looking back, I suppose I should be grateful that I got as far as I got.

Even a pretty traditional comic book writer can make valuable contributions to the Internet.

I think the people who would be the least interested in my work would be people who read lots of comic books.
