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 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 guess I didn't enjoy drawing very much. It was like homework.

I was a child of American popular culture. All I did as a kid was what I could get at the local supermarket or the dime store. Nothing else was seen. Plus what was on television, or the movie theatre. That was it.

There's many heroic underappreciated investigative journalists.

Everything that is strong in me has gone into my art work.

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