If you look at Marvel Comics, there are very few Marvel characters I would like to write.

With a mini series you can give the story a proper sense of pacing, a proper sense of closure.

Yeah, Hitman I suppose is most of the time a lighter read than Preacher; it was always going to be.

I don't necessarily write everything as automatically assuming it will be collected, there's nothing that says Hitman will be collected, though it might be.

I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don't have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you've designed for them, you can tell the story, I suppose, honestly.

Preacher is a book that somehow allows me time by its settling on it's characters, that sort of modern gothic western feel. You're not likely to see the boat veering too far from that.

As the scripts come in they are sent to the artists, and the artists are either very busy, or ready to start.

You work for the devil, you better be ready to die for him.

There's immense fun to be had as long as you can sort of sneak it past DC. I have been told on occasion that I need to have more respect for these characters.

What happens when your world ends? Your lover steals your heart...and your father casts you out...and you fall.

I've seen a fair bit of the States and the rest of the world, and I'm convinced that there's nowhere I'd be happier, there's nowhere I'm missing out on because I'm in NY.

Someone who see's the invisible can do the impossible

I never sat down and said, 'I'm going to write historical fiction with strong romantic elements.' It was just the way the stories went.

I don't pitch for contracts.

As a kid, I loved to play centerfield. I loved to make diving catches.

You were never told that Saint-Tropez is paradise?

As a son of a man who pretended to be one thing for 33 years of my life and then was another thing, the questions of 'what is real' and 'what is not real' are very blurrily vivid to me.

Nothing but widespread suffering will produce any effect on Congress

To be happy, you must fancy that everything you have is a gift, and you the chosen, though you worked your tail off for every bit of it.

I just want to continue the way I am going.

Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner. Knowledge is a friend, even to its hater. Ignorance hates knowledge because it is too pure. Knowledge fears ignorance because it is too sure.
