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

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.

It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.

The truth doesn't set you free, you know. It makes you feel awkward and embarrassed and defenseless and red in the face and horrified and petrified and vulnerable.

I remain attached to my nation.

One of my favorite colors is no color at all.

We have a battery of tests planned at regular intervals including DNA methylation analysis, gene expression profile changes, telomere length (both TAT and QTRAP measured) and various other metrics that will highlight positive changes to aging biomarkers.

I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality, abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.

You can't make a movie about making movies - it's boring.

I think people under age 55 come to Vegas with a certain sense of irony.

Great men are just ordinary men that didn't quit.

Let me tell you, the heart of my tax proposal: I will not raise taxes on the American people. I will not raise taxes on middle-income Americans.

People seem to be interested in me. So I try to keep my acting pretty simple.

Friends are the greatest labor and the greatest reward.

When I was at Stratford, the very first thing that I was commissioned to work on was trying to make a musical out of the documentary material about the General Strike, which was the next big historical event in England, after the First World War.

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.

I like to have fun, but I don't think of myself as being funny. But I'm a big jokester, so I make fun of myself a lot!

White people really deal more with God and black people with Jesus.

When I finish a first draft, I often look back at first chapters I wrote and laugh at them. They're like pictures of yourself in middle school. You're embarrassed to see them.
