In comics, there are depths that don't reveal themselves immediately, and the stuff that you might consider anal about 'Watching the Watchmen' - like the notes where I plot the rotation of a perfume bottle through the air - might not be particularly obvious to anyone who reads it.

I've just tried to keep my eyes open, tried to read everything you can, and tried to see whether I see myself within it. If I do, then I can get excited about it.

Sometimes I'll flip through a magazine and do a double take when I see myself in it, it's just crazy!

I know most players do, but I always keep both eyes opened. I still do it. I see two shafts, the real one and the transparent one. I look for what's on the inside edge of the transparent one.

When you look at magazines, you feel so inadequate and so small and you feel really imperfect, when you're constantly seeing these images.

I've always had a quirky way of looking at things. It's my coping mechanism.

What I aspire to is to have the viewer look directly at the subject, as if they're looking through a window at the real thing.

I always have a different way of looking at things.

I put my comics that are really valuable into regular mylar because I like to look at them. Once they're in those clam shell boxes, they're impossible to open up.

I like to browse in Cartier, Chanel and Gucci and if something special grabs my eye I splash out.
