I'm Always Looking For Things I Imagine

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.

That's Been My Main Interest For The Last 15 Years, Is To Really Make Sure The Story And The Characters Take Precedence Over Everything Else, And That I Give Them Everything I Can To Make Them Exist As Actual People.

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.

Comics Seldom Move Me The Way I Would Be Moved By A Novel Or Movie.

You Try To Make The World A Better Place And What Does It Get You? I Mean, Christ, How The Hell Does One Man Stand A Chance Against Four Billion Assholes?
