I've never done anything half-heartedly. It's the reason my comics did well. It's the reason my comics were drawn well. I can't do anything bad.

The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.

Of course, mothers were very conventional, everything was very conventional. You had to have approval.

Everybody can draw, in my estimation. If you give a man 50 years, he'll come up with the Mona Lisa.

I feel like an independent man, and I am. This is the kind of feeling I always wanted. You can rarely get that... Well, I could rarely get that in the early part of my life.

I always resent anybody interfering with anybody else trying to do his job. Everybody has his own job to do. If he's good, he'll do well, but if he's mediocre, he's not going to do as well as he should.

I'll never speak to another person without telling the truth. I've been a cruel man in my time, I've been a devious man in my time, like everybody else. I've told lies in my time. But I've seen enough suffering to experiment with the truth.
