Yeah, I was a child of American popular culture.

You can't make everybody love you. It's an exercise in futility, and it's probably not even a good idea to try.

The French hold onto their traditions. I was always so alienated in America. My work was this constant reaction to that.

When people say 'What are underground comics?' I think the best way you can define them is just the absolute freedom involved... we didn't have anyone standing over us.

I draw the line at some things. Some things I won't do for any amount of money. Like for instance, there's a couple of CEOs of very large corporations that offered me lots of money to do special pictures for them. And I just refused to do that. Even if it was a million dollars I wouldn't do it.

I always had a sketchbook with me when I was young. I was hiding behind it, basically, hiding behind drawing because I couldn't cope with people in real life; I was very shy and very nervous around people.

I use photos a lot for drawing people and personalities, but they're almost never photos that I've taken.
