Comic book companies are like comic book villains; they keep coming back after they die.

Guy Peellaert was to Europe what Andy Warhol was to America - except Guy had more talent!

We all have an aggressive dedication to the narrative arts - comics, film, electronic gaming, and more. We spend much of our time and effort exploring those forms and have an enormous investment in the arts. We're all part of the same brotherhood as far as I'm concerned.

I rejected the idea of 9/11 being exploited pornographically immediately after the tragedy, when no one else breathed a word about it.

I don't think people were put here to be happy. I think if you decide to be an artist or a writer, you automatically accept the responsibility of being alone. However, after your 50 or 60 years are up you'll be able to look back and see this output that you've done that will endure long after you're gone, and will continue to fill the minds of millions of people.

I'm no saint, but there are times when I simply cannot sanction freedom from responsibility.

Too many artists and writers have forgotten their roots. I embrace my fans because, in a way, they're family.
