The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.

I've kind of learned this about Joss Whedon. Never say never. I've learned that. I also have another rule about Joss Whedon. Never say no. Just... whatever Joss Whedon wants to do, just do it.

What a cruel irony of fate, to pair together, like Siamese twins united by the shoulders, scientific adversaries of such contrasting character!
