Good comics gravitate to each other; you know who's your type of person by watching them onstage, hopefully.

My brother is a comic-book writer, and I was always in love with comics.

What I've found in my career is that 70 to 75 percent of comics are nice and have some sense of social skills, but there are those who end up in comedy because they don't know how to socialize. I don't want to deal with that group.

I have a great affection for comics, and I think that people underrate comics as a genre.

I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.

I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period.

I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.

When I was a young artist, I liked and was interested in belonging to the mainstream comics group. I didn't introduce myself as an author, but only as a designer.

My comics have changed so much over the years, in the writing, in art style, sometimes incrementally, sometimes quite suddenly. So I've cultivated an audience who will go along with me because they trust me.

I used to describe myself as a comic novelist, but my concerns seem to have darkened over the past few years.
