I was hired as a penciler.

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 hope somebody falls in love with me - other than my fiancee. But that's what you want. As a player you want a team that really wants you; head coach, GM, owner, everybody that really wants you in their place and the players believe in you. I'm looking forward to making somebody fall in love with me.

The Pentagon got fed up with its recruits getting ripped off by payday lenders and in 2007 got Congress to make it illegal to extend such loans to members of the military. But civilians remain fair game.

There are a lot of stereotypes to be broken which I think a lot of us are doing. What I do is, as soon as people try to pin me down to one kind of part, I'll play a very different kind of role, so it explodes that stereotype.

It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.

Age and size are only numbers. It's the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference.

The love that last the longest is the love that is never returned.

I actually don't think Ireland has a summer. I never experienced a summer there. It was just so wet.

Certainly Amadeus because it was a very powerful time for me, we filmed it in the Czech Republic at a time of lots of social and political change going on in that part of the world.

I'm grateful for every day.

I taught at the FBI for four decades - how to think outside of the box and deal with social engineering.

I got into stand-up because I love stand-up. Specifically in stand-up, I love jokes. I love short, structured ideas and a punch line.

Fresh out of college, you tend to join a company because it's a job. But, you tend to stay because it becomes a career; you start to feel at home. In the beginning of your career, you're focused on you: 'I like this place because I'm doing rewarding work; they take good care of me; the people are nice; there's runway for me,' etc.

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I'm not a trained artist, I couldn't sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.

I could eat 10 packs of Hula Hoops a day and not think about it.

Misfortune was my god.

I have a problem with people saying feminine means anti-feminist, and I think it's counter-productive to immediately associate anything 'girly' with vanity or stupidity.

Artists are taught to be humble about their impact, especially in folk music. It's so ingrained that I have a hard time even thinking I had any impact other than what a normal hit song would have.

The brain's calculations do not require our conscious effort, only our attention and our openness to let the information through. Although the brain absorbs universes of information, little is admitted into normal consciousness.

My choices were never wrong.

I believe that most police are conscientious and want only to provide safety for us.

I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.

The best model of a cat is another cat..., specially the same cat.

It is a very beautiful story, 'The Crow.' It is a very tragic story with huge emotional themes.

Whom do you speak to about introducing a leap year? Is it heresy to request such a thing? Why do the Jews have one and we don't?
