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

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

I really don't have a lot in common with the people who attend the Comic Con. It's like assuming that all people who write prose are the same.

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.

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

As a matter of fact, I deliberately look for the mundane, because I feel these stories are ignored. The most influential things that happen to virtually all of us are the things that happen on a daily basis. Not the traumas.

Im pretty aggressive, and maybe obnoxious, about trying to get work.
