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

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.

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.

Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

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

The most unrealistic thing I've ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don't believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.
