Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many others--almost as awesome!! But they merely exist!!

My monsters were lovable monsters. I gave them names - some were evil and some were good. They made sales, and that's always been my prime object in comics.

I felt the comics grew because they became the common man's literature, the common man's art, the common man's publishing.

My own son feels I'm uncool but my grandson loves me. Being cool or uncool is a generational thing. But as a personal thing, I really love everybody in sight.

I'm a guy who had to perform some way. I had to perform in some way. If not as an actor, I'd perform as an artist. It would have been something that would be outstanding in its own way.

I like entertainment. I'm an innate admirer of good entertainment. I'll listen to MTV, I'll listen to Mozart, I'll listen to anything that has a good element in it.

A character to me can't be contrived. I don't like to contrive characters. They have to have an element of truth.
