One of the things I like to do is people's hearts are on their sleeve, whether it's a good or a bad heart.

The trick is not caring what EVERYBODY thinks of you and just caring about what the RIGHT people think of you.

Artists are not your art monkeys. They are your collaborators. They should be given all due consideration to follow their journey.

I've been reading Ed Brubaker comics since the first appearance of Ed Brubaker comics and every single time he announces a new title I mutter to myself: ugh! I wish I would've thought of that!

I have a very strong color theory, for instance, where in 'Powers,' green means powerless, and red means power.The story was all there, but I was desperate to make sure that extra level was the case.

You're as good as the people you're with.

One similarity I see between peers and some of the people who read my books is that comics were definitely an outlet for us.

I don't take it for granted, because I saw the fruits of Stan's [Lee] 50-year labor, and I didn't have to wait 50 years myself.

If you're miserable and someone flies by looking like they have everything in the whole world and it's never going to be you, that's tough to deal with.

I looked at Tank Girl, which is the coolest comic, ever. The movie didn't make the comic book any less cool. The comic is still the comic.

The books are the books, and a lot of the stuff is some version of your id or your ego.

Of that time, there is still much we do not know.

There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at.

Thats the hard part about sport: as men we havent started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.

that's it - hundreds of texts and conversations, thousands upon thousands of words spoken and sent, all boiled down into a single line. is that what relationships become?

Appeasement was never a very clever policy, and it should not be our option today.

Please remember me.

A good story's like a door, and you can go through it whenever you need to. After you've read it or seen it or heard it, you can still go back through it. Once it's yours, it's always yours.

Learn to say no in situations where saying no can be difficult, where it could mean getting fired. Say no anyway, because it could lead you to greater opportunities.

But it struck me that the extreme violence and cruelty of the English Civil War had gone understated.

All of us have the capacity to attract to ourselves what seems to be missing in our lives.
