It meant something to see people who looked like me in comic books. It was this beautiful place that I felt pop culture should look like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a comic, I used to know more about pop culture.
Comic books were just the means for me to tell the story.
I was born a comic.
'Look at Me' started with Rockford, Illinois and New York and the question of how much image culture was changing our inner lives. That's an abstract idea; you don't think that's going to be a rocking work of fiction, but it seemed to fuse in a way that was interesting.
Back then, I was doing more of my impression of what a comic is supposed to do.
I really wanted to do things that weren't comic. It felt like finding people who can see this other side to me.
It was very natural that people just think of me as a comic actor.
I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures.
Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.
It's not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It's a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I'm not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn't interest me.
