Some people are haunted by their pasts, but not my family. I mean, how can you be haunted by something that never really dies?

My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

My mom once told me that a good relationship isn't where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.

I have no imagination; I just steal from life and change the color. Then it's a comic book.

That was the appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.

When a man carries an instrument of violence, he'll always find the justification to use it.

I'm not afraid of the world. I'm afraid of a world without you.

A comic script is basically a love letter from you to your artist.

Sure, this will probably end up being another in a long line of emotionally crippling misadventures...but let's try to have some fun along the way.

As long as there will be a man, there will be wars.

Take back the smile and the night, take it all back, I wish I could.

Diplomats do not know how to negotiate, they only know how to keep their job.

I'm a thief. I steal scenes, I steal opportunities. I am the ultimate thief. I got sticky fingers.

An arts degree is like a diploma in origami. And about as much use.

There is a guilty pleasure in being rude and knowing that it's acting rather than you. But you get the same release as if you were being rude in life.

The best measure of a successful life is the way we turn away, we renounce, and even by the way we depart it.
