I like to follow my own muse.

I've kept voluminous diaries since I was eighteen, and do a lot of experimental writing.

Both of my parents were cartoonists - they met in art school - so I was always drawing and I was the best artist in my class and all that stuff.

In real life, people are going by fast and it's hard to draw them from my eye alone in a split second.

You set your reality and carefully construct it so that it has a certain feeling, an energy. That's the vital, visceral thing about making an illustration.

Time and space, and freedom. That's what I want most. Isn't that true for all of us?

Only the most passionate love could ever induce me to marry.

Humanity's greatest achievement will come when the happiness of some will no longer be the sadness of others.

Some teachers teach for others to learn. That's not me. Some teachers teach for others to accomplish. That is me.

The rose's rarest essence lives in the thorns.

It should be a crime to abandon your child, and it's not. It would be wonderful if it could be criminalized.

There's a weird fact that if you dropped a penny off the Empire State Building in New York City, you'd kill someone. I feel really bad, 'cause I dropped a nickel off it once.
