Every ethnic group thinks they are the chosen ones.

I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.

People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books.

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

I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in

I decided I was going to tell these stories. I went around and met Crumb. He was the cartoonist. I started realizing comics weren't just kid stuff.
