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.

The work itself is what motivates me. I like my own stuff, you know? I like the way it looks. I do it to please myself first.

I'm an outsider. I will always be an outsider.

I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.

Most of my adult life I had this towering contempt for America.

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.

Your vigor for life appalls me.
