'Seconds' is all about spaces, and I guess spaces are kind of like people in that they can be haunting and alluring before we even really get to know them, and after prolonged exposure, they can become mundane or oppressive.

I've certainly played games that provoked a real emotional response or serious thought processes.

From Bryan Lee O'Malley

I've had so many little ideas I've written down here and there. Some ideas I've got reams of notes for.

After a long period of not drawing, you have to, like, relearn how to draw. It's not very fun.

From Bryan Lee O'Malley

I'm too young to have experienced firsthand the '70s rock, but when I was in high school, me and my friends were super into Neil Young. That was the grunge era, and he was considered cool again.

Writing music is sort of my hobby, but it's been falling off more and more. Doing comic books takes up my entire life.

From Bryan Lee O'Malley

I'm a firm believer in stories with arcs and beginnings and endings and all that. 'Scott Pilgrim' is sort of one long novel, and it's so long that I get confused and sort of tread water sometimes. But there's definitely a goal to it. People who just dismiss it as shallow, that's their prerogative, but it's not really my intent.

From Bryan Lee O'Malley

When I was in the middle of the 'Scott Pilgrim' series, and it was slowly becoming more popular, though still not financially solvent, I had this real bratty instinct to turn around and do something super arty and dark. I felt dismissed by comics culture, stuck in between the artcomix world and the nerdcomix world, and I was cranky about it.

From Bryan Lee O'Malley

The places I've been, or passed through, or seen at a distance, have had as much an impact on my life as the people I've known.

From Bryan Lee O'Malley

I don't really have a metaphor for how I write, but it kinda feels like chipping away at a big dark object that I can't really see.
