I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.

I must have been 3 years old or less, and I remember paging through these comics, trying to figure out the stories. I couldn't read the words, so I made up my own stories.

You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes.

I have this certain vision of the way I want my comics to look; this sort of photographic realism, but with a certain abstraction that comics can give. It's kind of a fine line.

When you see somebody who's got a complaining personality, it usually means that they had some vision of what things could be, and they're constantly disappointed by that. I think that would be the camp that I would fall into - constantly horrified by the things people do.

I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.

I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.

It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.

Even if I only had 10 readers, I'd rather do the book for them than for a million readers online.

For example, I noticed that every single kid in the high school in 'The Death-Ray' is based on somebody I went to high school with.

I don't read much of anything online.

I had no television when I was little, just a stack of old, beat-up comics from the 1950s and 1960s.

I tend to be the type who is overly polite and sort of ingratiating to other people.

I think I've had the fantasy of a ray-gun that could erase the world from the time I was a very little kid.

I think that's what we're all most terrified about: that we'll just die and disappear and we'll leave no trace.

I try personally not to be nostalgic.

I was 30 before I made a living that was not embarrassing.

I'm a fan of parchment and wood pulp.

I'm more interested in characters who are a little difficult.

I'm not opposed to comics on the Internet. It's just not interesting to me.

Nobody else feels the same way about your dog that you do.

People seem to need a likable protagonist more than ever.

Superman's always chasing after someone who just mugged somebody, and I've never seen that happen in my life.

That's the biggest part of doing comics: You have to create stuff that makes you want to get out of bed every morning and get to work.

Try letting a Kindle protect your heart from sniper fire!

Working on movies made me realize how fluid the medium of film was.

Yeah, I don't necessarily like endings that contrive an artificial moment of completion.

I was thinking the other day that there will never be another form of music that everybody has to respond to like disco.

You can never really trust someone who remembers every embarrassing detail of your adolescence.

I wouldn't like to see a chick of mine taking her clothes off and kissing a fellow on screen. And my girls must get very hurt when they see me doing it.

Rumors of sneezing, kissing, tears, sweat, and saliva spreading AIDS caused people to panic.

A date once leaned in to kiss me, and he ended up kissing my cheek. He was a little offended, but I didn't want to kiss him just to not hurt his feelings.

Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.

I find that screen kissing wears very thin very quickly.

Some men like a dull life - they like the routine of eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, petting the dog, watching TV, kissing the kids, and going to bed. Stay clear of it - it's often catching.

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.

If a man is pictured chopping off a woman's breast, it only gets a R rating, but if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman's breast, it gets an X rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness?

Kissing don't last: cookery do!

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

I can't stand girls who laugh at everything I say like I'm the funniest guy in the world. I like girls who tell it like it is, no kissing up to me because I'm on TV.

All this cuddling and kissing on stage these days, well it's all right in football when someone scores a goal, but not when you're playing darts.

But the two of them together, broke my heart. Olympia and Peter, those scenes... When they're kissing in their 20s and then kissing in their 70s, that's what it is. And they had never met five minutes before they shot those scenes.

When it came to kissing, Harlow was the best.

I got caught kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing.

That's the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.

I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other.

It's OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can't kiss another person because he's a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I'm from Dallas, Texas.

What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?

Why watch someone kissing when people really close their eyes when they kiss?
