I've just found the stories of the people I'm talking to much more interesting than my reactions to them.

If there's a theme in my work, it's that I like to focus on smart people who are facing oppression and who are fighting back against it.

When you hold a graphic novel in your hands, you're holding artist blood made ink.

You can't use a drawing to prove a war crime. A drawing doesn't have that notion that it's proof of a reality. Because of that, you can do all sorts of interesting things in it.

Rejection is inevitable. Let it hit you hard for a moment, feel the hurt, and then move on.

I can't reasonably pretend to be a transparent and omniscient narrator who brings no personal perspective. That person doesn't exist.

Despite everything we know about photo manipulation, a photo is still considered an objective document.

Neutrality and boredom are the weapons of the state.

I came in as an established artist. People were hiring me for what I did and for who I was. I think that has given me a vast amount of leeway; I feel so lucky that I came in that way.

One thing about Guantánamo, beyond anything else, is the commitment against all odds to allow Americans to view themselves as the good guy, no matter what the situation is.

God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us coworkers with Him. He set things up that way.

The latest political rumor, North Korea ruler Kim Jong Il is close to naming his successor. Yeah, he said the only person with glasses big enough to replace me is Nicole Richie.

Hitler produced a local "lab experiment"; he provided me with an ideology in the same way that Marx provided one for Lenin. My task is to turn this ideology into a world movement.

If my faults deserve punishment, my youth at least, and my imprudence were worthy of excuse

Every setback might be the very thing that makes you carry on and fight all the harder and become much better.

I'm very lucky. I'm very fortunate that my books have never gone out of print - none of them

The moment eternal - just that and no more - When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!

I don't like to go in places where women talk and gossip. The atmosphere I don't like, even though you can sometimes meet nice people. For me, it's a waste of time.
