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

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

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

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.

When the unexpected meets with the unprepared, over there we find the greatest astonishments!

All wish to be learned but no one is willing to pay the price.

Race makes things funny. A black guy driving in NASCAR: not funny. A black guy driving a car sponsored by Tide: not funny. A black guy driving a car sponsored by Aunt Jemima: hilarious.

People with a meagre soul always try to make others feel small too.

I didn't really feel I was being hurt, but you could feel it.

Whatever she does to my songs, she always makes them sound better.

To be a successful soldier, you must know history.

Go with your fate, but not beyond. Beyond leads to dark places.

My wife never throws anything at me that I can't handle.

Remind people who they are instead of just complimenting them on what they've done.
