I've always been the audience that I wanted to reach, so I write for myself.

I try not to violate what came before me and to leave lots of wiggle room for those who will follow.

I think every time you take a female character, a black character, a Hispanic character, a gay character, and make that the point of the character, you are minimalizing the character.

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

I've never had to work out of the arts. I've always either been a writer or an editor, or something where I've made my living from doing what I love. You can't get any better than that.

I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. I have spent a lifetime doing what I love.
