I thought if I could create a convincing cat I could say and do anything I wanted on the human condition.

My dream in life is to write the one gag that makes everyone in the world laugh.

I have a fear of letting my mind wander. I'm afraid it might not come back.

Deep fry that sucker! - Garfield

I probably get more inspiration for human stories and idiosyncrasies than I do animal stories.

Usually I commit to something in my head and then I start drawing.
