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.

I don't like to work in an office. I like to work in my house, to be among my own thoughts. The idea is for an editor to let his artist alone, let them be themselves, let them exchange their own ideas and you'll come up with something salable.

Comics have a caste system - an editor has to act in a certain way, an artist has to be humble.

I've never done anything half-heartedly; it's a disservice to me and the audience if I do it half-heartedly.

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

I never sued anybody, I never fought anybody or was in conflict or contention with any other party in a legal way. I feel that it hurts people, it hurts their families.

I was an artist, but not a self-proclaimed great artist, just a common man who was working in a form of art which is universal.
