I will say that comic books are not the easiest things to translate to film, number one. Even the most well meaning of filmmakers find what's acceptable on the printed page is very difficult to bring to film.

I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.

I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.

I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.

I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.

A cartoonist creates his whole universe without any input.

When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.
