But I was also a big mouth, I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten.

But generally speaking, people weren't fired, art jobs were very hard to get, so something really calamitous had to happen to a person who was working there in order for you to find a space.

Everything was sensory and I never saw the structure in anything.

It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables.

Then the war became a real problem and along with other shortages, they started to have paper problems.

Precision is not one of the qualities that comes out in my work.

First of all there was a guy named Charles Nicholas, who used to do all of the inking that Jack and Simon didn't do. Simon used to do splashes and covers, but Charles Nicholas, after a while, did the inside of all of the stuff.

I just saw the emotion in everything, so I got to feel everything that was going on and that I was viewing, but I couldn't think in terms of structure, which is the whole point of deep focus.

Comics were going down for the second time and here, all of a sudden, came this thing and for the next fifteen years, romance comics were about the top sellers in the field; they outsold everything.

I think the lack of precision and deep focus is why it took me years to build up my work.

Most of us came out of Popeye, so turning Popeye into something believable was tricky enough.

If I had one quality that really ruined me and at the same time helped me, it was the fact that I never stopped looking, and by that time I was really working at it.

In other words, DC was never harmed by the paper shortages.

DC used to print up all of their pages, they were the only company that did it.

I was hired to do as many Boy Commando, Newsboy Legion, and Sandman stories as I could.

But I was also a big mouth, I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten.

I was not too smart and constantly mouthed off and didn't know anything.

All of the penciling was consistently done by one person and the inking was whoever could finish on time.

Coming into the business, you'd pass through these little agencies until you got to understand what was happening in the business, unless you were really able to have a style strong enough to go directly to the publishers.

I was hired as a penciler.

I love the company of actors, but the crazier it gets, the more I've come to realise how valuable my time is with my friends who work on the land or are builders or, you know, make music. Work in offices. Run shops.

An aunt is a safe haven for a child. Someone who will keep your secrets and is always on your side.

When I went to the prosecutor's office, I wanted to be one of the good guys that the defense could trust. I'd try fair, clean cases, pull no punches, no below-the-belt stuff. Honorable. Because that's the kind of prosecutor I wanted to deal with.

I didn't know if it would be a success-ful one, or what the stages would be, but I always saw myself as a lifetime musician and songwriter.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.

I'll paddle board, swim in the ocean, roll in the sand, soak up the sun, eat good food, be with friends and family and go fishing with my dad.

Laughter is poison to fear.

I had always been intrigued by the emotional aspect of adventure gaming-the fact that people get so personally involved.

In truth, the more we lean into life, the more we authentically interact with the world, the brighter our flame.

I want the reader to know what's going on. So there's never a mystery in my books.

If you want to stay fit, surround yourself with a couple of chicks who are fired up, so that the one day you're not, you can feed off their energy.

I should add that I very much enjoy certain cities especially Paris, New York and Chicago.

I went with Lionel Hampton for three years. Out of that came a trip to Europe.

It's sweet to hear, but anyone who says that they want to be the next John Cassavetes is crazy. He had it so tough. No one would want to walk a step in his shoes. Believe me - I wouldn't.

How do I play the princess thing? I don't, really. I don't like talking about it much and find it annoying when people say things like, 'Oh, you're the princess.' One of my best friends jokingly says, 'Hi, Princess,' and I say, 'Shut up.' It is one of the things that bugs me most in the world.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising every time we fail.

Taylor being married and so on, that does evolve the dynamic on the road.

I don't know a kid who grew up in the '90s who wasn't obsessed with Disney, and I guess I never grew out of that phase, honestly. It's not just Disney: it's anything that has to do with fairytales for me. I think I just have Peter Pan Syndrome or something.

Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all. You don't have that fear. So why do you think people get stuck in those boxes? It's that fear of going back down.

The core of all religions is a belief in a supreme personal god.

I generally sell my records online or at the show. You can undersell the distributor and the stores, and people know what they're getting cause they've just seen you live.

What I don't want to become numb to is wasting those taxpayer dollars.

I do everything: I'll have a green juice, then a melted chocolate ice cream. I stay up very late, I get up very early.

Lovers have a right to betray you friends don't.
