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 thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.

It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing

I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.

Comics are words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures.

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

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.
