Never follow somebody else's path; it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone.

I grew up on comics and cartoons. So, as an adult, I like comics and cartoons.

I've written for every medium except poetry, at which I suck.

To understand this whole area, you have to stop thinking like a viewer and start thinking like a network programming exec.

For me, growing up in a ridiculously poor family living in dead-end neighborhoods, Superman was a deeply personal icon, one that said you can do anything if you put your mind to it. What he stood for formed the core of who I wanted to be as I grew up, and informed how I view the world and my responsibilities to other people.

I don't need to write comics for a living. I have movies and TV for that. I write comics for one reason and one reason only: I love comics. I love the form, the structure, the storytelling process, I love everything about it.

I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.
