In my view what you can't argue for is a system that is neither decisive nor proportional and can be indecisive and disproportionate at the same time.

An American parliamentary system with proportional representation wouldn't immediately or inexorably lead to a flourishing social democracy, but it would at least correct the overrepresentation of an ideological minority and cut down on intentional tactical economic sabotage.

I think so many people are reactive... they see things in a short term way they're right up against it.

There's a burden of representation that comes into play when there aren't enough representatives of a certain group in popular culture.

It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing.

I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.

I guess initially I was amazed that somebody would see something within my work that they could really relate to, but the more it's happened, the more people have come forward, I've really realized that we're all kind of going through the same thing at the same time.

I am a big proponent of character arcs that show us how people change over time.
