The lovely thing about writing comics for so many years is that comics is a medium that is mistaken for a genre. It's not that there are not genres within comics, but because comics tend to be regarded as a genre in itself, content becomes secondary; as long as I was doing a comic, people would pick it up.

A life that is, like any other, unlike any other.

I have always felt that violence was the last refuge of the incompetent, and empty threats the last sanctuary of the terminally inept.

You can't trust other people. If it's important, you have to do it yourself.

Writing's a lot like cooking. Sometimes the cake won't rise, no matter what you do, and every now and again the cake tastes better than you ever could have dreamed it would.

That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.

I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.
