I will say that I'm proud of my connection to DC comics because they are absolutely fabulous in sending reprint royalty checks.

I found that the majority of people who stopped at my table [ at the Comic Con] last didn't even know who Winnie the Pooh was, and the new feature was just opening in the theaters.

There are still people who don't like my work and that's okay with me.

Sometimes I look at some of my old work and I don't like it.

If you ever go to talk to an editor you don't want to be able to turn down a job because you can't do what is necessary.

I learned that, "Mike, you get your first job on your ability and every job after that on your dependability."

I have my heroes. Some of whom are still alive, and unfortunately many that aren't.
