I began to learn about the universe myself and take it seriously. I know the names of the stars. I know how near or far the heavenly bodies are from our own planet. I know our own place in the universe. I can feel the vastness of it inside myself. I began to realize with each passing fact what a wonderful and awesome place the universe is, and that helped me in comics because I was looking for the awesome.

I achieved perfection, my type of perfection - visual storytelling. Storytelling was my style.

It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.

I was happy because I made enough money to give to my parents. I made enough money to get married on. I made enough money to enjoy myself a little more than I would have if I didn't have enough money.

Perfectionists are their own devils.

Mort Meskin was a consummate professional, dedicated to his work. A great talent.

I was a good student in the subjects that I wanted to be good in. The curriculum in my section was excellent.
