My parents were immigrants. And the place for all immigrants was the factories. They were the source of cheap labor.

I tried to, from my very early years, I've been an inveterate movie goer and still am and I, I love the medium. So what I, what I draw and what I'm still doing, is part of that particular orientation.

I couldn't draw anything that was too outlandish or too horrible. I never did that. What I did draw was something intriguing. There was something about this monster that you could live with. If you saw him you wouldn't faint dead away.

I wasn't the kind of student that Pratt was looking for. They wanted patient people who would work on something forever. I didn't want to work on any project forever. I intended to get things done.

I admired anybody who could make a buck with his drawing.

If you think a man draws the type of hands that you want to draw, steal ‘em. Take those hands.

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