It was harder to break into comics than it was to become a singer in a rock band.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most comics worship music on some level. It's more rock-n-roll to get up there for an hour and make people laugh.
When I was a kid, I always thought that I'd be a comic book artist. It took a long time to start thinking that I could be a musician.
In the past, in the '60s and '70s, genres were much more segmented. You had action guys who were deadly serious about it, and I think you had comics that were comics.
I really wasn't into comic books growing up.
Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing.
Being a rock star isn't all it's cracked up to be, let me tell you.
Every actor I know pretty much wants to be a rock n' roll star, and we'd all give it up to be in a rock n' roll band, but we're never going to do that. But being in cartoons - that's as close as you get without being an action figure.
The Ramones were inspiring a lot of bands that couldn't master their instruments.
It's not until you develop your own voice, your own persona onstage that you become your own comic, who you really are.
Every comic is really a frustrated rock star.
