My work is more driven by the creative word. It's immersed in other writing and printed work, rather than drawn so much from life or past experience.

I don't drive often, because the parking makes it too much of a nuisance. And I could never go back to commuting or anything. I'd just get fed up with it.

Back in the '80s, a lot of the images I used were from TV or from films on TV.

I wouldn't want to be defined so much by comics or cartoons. My work is more narrative than that. If you take your basic cartoon, there's always a punchline or a joke at the end. My drawings don't depend on that so much.

There are lots of guns and action in my drawings, and part of that is just to make them more interesting. Because you can go through a whole film and it's mostly talking heads and little else until the action scenes, and they're usually violence or physical stuff. Same with baseball, or any sport. Except I find pitching and batting are visually very striking.

Whenever I reference something, it usually comes back at some point. I don't know why.

Art comes after the fact, as a witness to certain things that have happened.
