But I was also a big mouth, I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten.

I was hired to do as many Boy Commando, Newsboy Legion, and Sandman stories as I could.

It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables.

I think the lack of precision and deep focus is why it took me years to build up my work.

Everything was sensory and I never saw the structure in anything.

DC used to print up all of their pages, they were the only company that did it.

I just saw the emotion in everything, so I got to feel everything that was going on and that I was viewing, but I couldn't think in terms of structure, which is the whole point of deep focus.

By the end of the 50s, everything began to collapse and, little by little, I lost all of my work. I lost Rex, the Wonder Dog and all the westerns.

I was hired as a penciler.

I was not too smart and constantly mouthed off and didn't know anything.

If I had one quality that really ruined me and at the same time helped me, it was the fact that I never stopped looking, and by that time I was really working at it.

Soiled, forgotten coats of arms were carved above their massive doorways, and these unsettled Ted: such universal, defining symbols made meaningless by nothing more than time.

During our time together in this place Holly didn’t outright avoid me or treat me rudely. But she wasn’t—how do women like to put it? She wasn’t emotionally available to me.

We are all full of discourses that we only half understand and half mean.

If you want to radiation poison a nation, just start shipping them cheap ionizing smoke detectors for the home with a little too much radiation in them.

Just say up on the hill is the meaning of life and someone knew it and they wanted everyone else to enjoy it. So they put a red vinyl sofa up there.

There is nothing quite so gentle, deep, and irrational as running--and nothing quite so savage, so wild.

To please everybody is impossible; were I to undertake it, I should probably please nobody.

I don't have any health problems, but to keep your health improves your quality of life.

Everything pays for growing tame.

The weekend brought good news for our friends in the cattle industry. At long last, Japan has taken the steps needed for American beef to make its way back into the Japanese market.
