Everybody can draw, in my estimation. If you give a man 50 years, he'll come up with the Mona Lisa.

The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.

I feel my characters are valid, my characters are people, my characters have hope. Hope is the thing that'll take us through.

It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.

Kid ... Comics will break your heart.

I feel that man can transcend himself to a point where he can accomplish greater things than he thinks.
