“So I look at a lot of stuff now that I did and some of it looks tame to me, but my interest in terms of what I want to say with it is a little different”

To me, that’s one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that’s a completely different approach

I still love a lot of the guys who just paint

Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something

But with comics you’re reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube

To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.

So much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.

If you’re going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it

I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work

So there’s kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe

Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it’s still about respecting the story

But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will

And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It’s an avenue to say what you want to say

One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much

Cartooning is an honorable thing

Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects

When you love people like Jesus, you get messy. But messy looks good on you!

On wedding day you should look like yourself at your most beautiful

The more you look down on others, the less ANYBODY will look up to you.

If you look beyond the short term violence and instability, you do see significant activities on the part of the Iraqi people that indicate they understand the commitment necessary to govern themselves. Its not clear how they will do it, but it never is.

C++ is the only current language making COBOL look good

Tread gently on anyone who looks at you sideways.

I’m delighted with it, because it used to be that films were the lowest form of art. Now we’ve got something to look down on.

I think the Republican Party is… accurately defined as a party that looks out for the interests of the very wealthy.
