“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

I have divers times endeavoured to see and to know, what parts the Blood consists of; and at length I have observ’d, taking some Blood out of my own hand, that it consists of small round globuls driven through a Crystalline humidity or water.

I strongly believe that fundamental science cannot be driven by instructional, industrial, governmental or military pressures.

My father walked out on us when I was three months old, and my mum, well, she wasn’t the driven sort.

I’ve driven just about every kind of car there is.

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.

The logs of wood which move down the river together Are driven apart by every wave.

People like myself were saying the Taliban would be driven out very swiftly from the north of Afghanistan, but given that their main support base was in the Pashtun belt, there would be greater resistance there. That didn’t happen.

I have a lot of passion. I have a lot of pride. I think I do get that from my family. But you can be driven and be nice.
