These days, it seems that if you're not already in place, you can't get there from here.

When I submitted samples, I had only written stories to give myself something to draw. I was told, "The art is good, but not quite professional yet. But, I like the writing." I've been a writer for almost a half a century. It's very cool.

If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.

I've always thought of myself as an organic writer, rather than a cerebral one. I feel my way along as I go, hoping I'll get to the place I intend to reach.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

When I got my first glimpse of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, my breath caught. In that single instant, he was Wolverine.

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