There's never a time when I'm not working. I don't take vacations.

I'm just somebody who tries to write things that entertain people. And if I can do it in a way that makes them prefer to emulate the good guy than the bad guy, I'm happy.

No one has a perfect life. Everybody has something that he wishes was not the way it is.

I always figure I'm not unique, and something that would please me hopefully would please a lot of other people that have the same tastes that I do.

Comic books themselves are getting more literate. And there are people who are screenwriters and television writers and novelists who are writing for the comics, for some reason, they love doing it and some of the art work in the comics, I mean it rivals anything you'll see hanging on the walls of museums, they're illustrations more than drawings and all the people are discovering this and they're turning on to it.

I had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic... And those were all things I hated.

Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.
