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

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

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

Certainly my parents were Dr. [Benjamin] Spock-driven parents. So they were tolerant.

I would say for the young: Don’t be straight jacketed by ideology. Don’t be driven by a structure of ideas.

The liars must be afraid of the truth and are therefore driven to suppress its pronouncement.

A business like an automobile, has to be driven, in order to get results.

I am driven by great work and seeing people do incredible things and having a part in that.

A man’s mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency.

The mind of the thinker and the student is driven to admit, though it be awe-struck by apparent injustice, that this inequality is the work of God.

Devils can be driven out of the heart by the touch of a hand on a hand, or a mouth on a mouth.
