If A Carpenter Makes A Chair That's Comfortable For The Person Who's Going To Sit In It, He's Done His Job. If A Train Engineer Gets A Train In On Time, He's Going To Make Someone Happy Who's Waiting At The Station.

I Taught Myself How To Draw, And I Soon Found Out It Was What I Really Wanted To Do. I Didn't Think I Was Going To Create Any Great Masterpieces Like Rembrandt Or Gauguin. I Thought Comics Was A Common Form Of Art, And Strictly American In My Estimation, Because America Was The Home Of The Common Man - And Show Me The Common Man That Can't Do A Comic. So Comics Is An American Form Of Art That Anyone Can Do With A Pencil And Paper.

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.
