There is nothing that makes me happier than making a child smile.

Whatever you do, the only secret is to believe in it and satisfy yourself. Don't do it for anyone else.

I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.

Children know something that most people have forgotten.

The only way art lives is through the experience of the observer. The reality of art begins with the eyes of the beholder, through imagination, invention and confrontation.

Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.

I'd like to pretend that I've never seen anything, never read anything, never heard anything... and then make something.

If commercialization is putting my art on a shirt so that a kid who can't afford a $30,000 painting can buy one, then I'm all for it.

My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can.

Travellers understand, instinctively and by experience, that travel and adventure change and elongate time, even while navigating the deadlines of airline and train departures.

I want to be remembered as a storyteller more than someone who had something meaningful to say.

I think reincarnation is possible. Hopefully, we all get recycled.

When a girl holds a rose up to you, you run better, let me tell you.

Jesus! Did I SAY that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me? I glanced over at my attorney, but he seemed oblivious.

The act of writing... is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. And ultimately, I think that's the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books.

I have committed the worst of sins one can commit... I have not been happy.

I'm not depressed and I continue to remain healthy and positive, but developing 'Smash Bros.' is beyond hard.

The larger meaning here is that mainstream journalists simply cannot talk about things that the two parties agree on; this is the black hole of American politics.

I think compassion is an important quality in people in general.
