The experience of reading a comic should not be the time it takes to turn each page.

There are certain artists and filmmakers who, I get the impression, are trying to show off how bad their characters can be, how immoral their characters can be.

I think when I finally got it in my head that I was going to do the story, I wanted to avoid doing what I thought people wanted me to do.

A lot of the kinship that people notice is not coincidental. I was very impressionable and trying to find my role models when I was twelve or thirteen.

I'm getting to a point in my life where my whole attitude about the relationship between myself and the audience is totally different.

If you're changing diapers and going to the playground, any ambitions of being a cool guy have to fly out the window.

I feel like if people are going to go to the effort to get a stamp and, you know, put it on an envelope that, you know, it's a big effort these days. So I often write back.

I started publishing my comic while I was still living with my parents.

When email and the Internet came along, I never publish an email address. I just stuck with this P.O. Box address.

For me, like, the more interesting a letter is I just get more excited and I know that this going to be great for my friends who are looking forward to reading that in my comic.

I think there's a lot of evolution that's happened in intangible ways, in terms of how I think about the work or how I plan it out.

A beautiful world with ugly people

I don’t know what you dream, when you are everyone’s dream.

The Word of God gives birth to thoughts about God and about the knowledge of God.

Many without punishment none without sin.

People just want honest music.

Every heart has its own melody," he said. "You know mine. - James Carstairs

The women that I met were exceptional, extraordinary - tremendous purity, tremendous gentleness, self-giving and power.

I learned about machinery, I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans.

Knowledge relaxes me. Football is all about playing faster. You play faster when you know more.

Wishes, like painted landscapes, best delight, Whilst distance recommends them to the sight. Plac'd afar off, they beautiful appear: But show their coarse and nauseous colors near.
