I'm Not A Guy Who Gets Inspirations.

I Always Sympathized With The People Who Did Work For Hire; I Was One Of Them.

I Think Almost Everybody Enjoyed Fairy Tales When They Were Young, Tales Of Witches And Ogres And Monsters And Dragons And So Forth. You Get A Little Bit Older, You Can't Read Fairy Tales Any More.

What Did Doctor Doom Really Want? He Wanted To Rule The World. Now, Think About This. You Could Walk Across The Street Against A Traffic Light And Get A Summons For Jaywalking, But You Could Walk Up To A Police Officer And Say "i Want To Rule The World," And There's Nothing He Can Do About It, That Is Not A Crime. Anybody Can Want To Rule The World. So, Even Though He Was The Fantastic Four's Greatest Menace, In My Mind, He Was Never A Criminal!

In A Sense, The Artwork Is The Most Important Thing In Getting Somebody To Buy A Book. The Person Probably Won't Buy A Book If He Doesn't Like The Artwork. Once You Buy It For The Artwork, You Hope That The Story Will Also Be Good.

If There Are People Who Like The Work You've Done, Because Of That, They Like You And Want Your Autograph And To Take A Photo, That's Really Gratifying. You Have To Be Appreciative.
