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.

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.

Frank Baum knew at once he had written something special when he completed 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.'

Feeding our energy appetite is top of mind for many people these days.

Every single one of us is the descendant of a go-getter. Of dreamers and of believers.
