I've never done anything half-heartedly; it's a disservice to me and the audience if I do it half-heartedly.

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.

There is a division within the neo-conservative movement, which is, by the way, one of the tests of its authenticity as a tendency. I would say I was a supporter of Paul Wolfowitz.

Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a terrible effort to remain a civilized man.

I have found that I'm just political just by being who I am.

Growing up in the Northwest, I did play in an all-girl band. I snuck into clubs. No one ever questioned or thought twice about it.

Continuity is boring.
