I Came Out Of School One Day, And There Was This Pulp Magazine. It Was A Rainy Day, And It Was Floating Toward The Sewer In The Gutter. So I Pick Up This Pulp Magazine, And It's Wonder Stories, And It's Got A Rocket-ship On The Cover, And I'd Never Seen A Rocket-ship.

I Felt The Comics Grew Because They Became The Common Man's Literature, The Common Man's Art, The Common Man's Publishing.

I'm A Guy Who Had To Perform Some Way. I Had To Perform In Some Way. If Not As An Actor, I'd Perform As An Artist. It Would Have Been Something That Would Be Outstanding In Its Own Way.

I Don't Like To Work In An Office. I Like To Work In My House, To Be Among My Own Thoughts. The Idea Is For An Editor To Let His Artist Alone, Let Them Be Themselves, Let Them Exchange Their Own Ideas And You'll Come Up With Something Salable.

I Never Sued Anybody, I Never Fought Anybody Or Was In Conflict Or Contention With Any Other Party In A Legal Way. I Feel That It Hurts People, It Hurts Their Families.

I Feel That Man Can Transcend Himself To A Point Where He Can Accomplish Greater Things Than He Thinks. I See People Depressed And I See People Who Devalue Themselves And I Feel That's A Terrible, Terrible Waste. But I Love The People Who Try. But Try Fairly, Try Honestly.
