It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.

I've excluded happiness as one of those possibilities we seek for ourselves. Oh, I still want it, but that's beside the point. Contentment - they say it's the ultimate, but I can't even wish for that. I don't even want the desire to be content. I can only hope for silence.

I'm not the guy who wins awards and gets mentioned in magazines.

In pre-school, I was drawing dinosaurs - I was huge into dinosaurs. I wanted to be a paleontologist, not a cartoonist or a filmmaker or anything like that - just a paleontologist. So I would draw dinosaurs.

Nothing quite brings out the zest for life in a person like the thought of their impending death.

I never killed anyone. I avoid going over that edge by writing about a guy who has taken a flying leap over it.

After doing Johnny I wanted to just do something, I wouldn't say innocent, but to not have any care in the world. Lots of setups and horrible happenings but its funny.
