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

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

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?

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

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 try and write the way things happen. I don't try and fulfill people's wishes
