I don't want to express violence or anger or hate in my art. I want to express forgiveness.

I'm not God, but I'm working within my own means as an artist and a person, and I possibly have more power than God does, in whatever form he has, if he exists, because I can work without the overarching ambition of wanting to rule over everything. I can work just for the heck of it.

It's very rare that someone gets the death penalty for charges of conspiracy, for his influence, for his Svengali-Rasputin act.

Most writers do similar things in their minds. It's how the mind works, basically.

No one can help me with my work. I think I do best when I am just left alone.

I don't want to express violence or anger or hate in my art. I want to express forgiveness.

I was very influenced by comics. The drawing style, definitely, I was interested in. My style of drawing is largely a comic style, but it's also much more obvious than comics.
