I Never Feel There's Anything I Can't

I Never Feel There's Anything I Can't Do With Comics. There Are Certain Things In Comics That You Can't Do In Any Other Medium: For Instance, In Mister Wonderful, Marshall's Narration Overlaps The Events As They're Going On. That Would Be Difficult In Film; You Could Blot Speech Out With A Voiceover, But It Wouldn't Have The Same Effect. That's Always Of Interest, To See What New Things You Can Do In Comics Form.

I Started Drawing At A Very Young Age. Writing A Story Wasn't Satisfying, But To Actually Draw Our Own World - It's Like Controlling Your Own Dreams.

Writing Screenplays Is Very Freeing From What You Can Do In Comics In A Lot Of Ways. You Can Change Things Around. I Can Take Great Delight In Writing 40 Pages, Then Just Pressing Delete And Getting Rid Of It And Not Thinking About It Ever Again. Whereas In Comics, If I Had Put That Kind Of Effort Into It, I Couldn't Go On.

I Think Politics Has An Influence On My Work Now, Perhaps More So Than When I Was A Childless Young Man, But I Hope Never To Deal With These Kinds Of Issues In Anything More Than A Covert Manner. I'm More Interested In Figuring Out What I Think Than In Pronouncing My Views To The World.

I Was 30 Before I Made A Living That Was Not Embarrassing.
