Everybody's like everybody else, and everybody's different from everybody else.

I just continue to be kind of disappointed that people don't realize that and try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.

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?

I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though.

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

It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected. That's what I want to write about.
