The only reality is our society, and I mean this seriously, Western Society is a very sick society.

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.

I mean, the most important thing to me is imagination.

It's wherever business rules, business is going to get the politicians they want because they control the money and money controls the power.

On the whole, and this comment can get me in a lot of trouble, I find that retailers in the comic book business are not business people. They're fans who've gotten themselves shops.

If you'd rather go to the football game than read a comic, that's fine. I'd rather do both.

The first thing you need to run for President is a budget of around $20 million dollars a day.

The thing about American politics, as I've learned, is there is no choice.

I've done work for hire. I've worked for DC and Dark Horse.

In the Second World War, they're talking about the Japanese traitors and putting them into concentration camps. But companies like DuPont had factories in Germany turning out stuff for the German Army.

Everything I've done is an old Marvel comic in its' own way.

Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.

Since the Gulf War, since the new World Order, America is now the number one arms dealer in the world.

The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world, unlike film or books or sports even, this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.

I mean, price is price. It's just where you want to spend your money.

But basically, I'm trying to write a fun story.

Planet Lucy Press? I incorporated myself to deal with publishing and was calling myself Big Bang Incorporated, which of course has to do with the Big Bang at the beginning of creation.

The only reality is our society, and I mean this seriously, Western Society is a very sick society.

If I've got food and water, as long as I can exercise my mind and keep it nimble, then I'll be okay.

If you like a story that's totally different and won't know which way it's going... where it's go ing to end up and which way it's going to take you, then I think my work fits the bill.

It's pretty well known that the CIA has been installing friendly dictators around the world for years.

The violence in society, I'm afraid, is perpetrated by the people at the top.

I went to Vortex and Vortex is a whole 'nother story.

That and the fact that I knew that nobody was going to publish my work at Dark Horse or DC or anywhere.

Jesus gives his life for the congregation, not the other way around.

If you exercise your mind, you're not going to get sick.

My main point is to entertain in a way that is unique and different from what anybody else id doing; to apply my voice in a way that nobody else in the industry is applying theirs.

My wife is wonderful. She's one of the people who has changed my life around... or has allowed ME to change my life around.

If I have a question about women and their behavior or attitudes, I always double check things with Lucy.

The people that are running the bulk of the comic shops in North America aren't business people and they don't understand sales. They don't understand good product.

Marvel has put out good product. DC has put out good product. Even Image has put out good product, as far as I'm concerned... although it's few and far between. But it's not getting recognized, no matter who's doing it.

First of all: no one in their right mind would sign an exclusive contract.

I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.

Generally students are the best vehicles for passing on ideas, for their thoughts are plastic and can be molded and they can adjust the ideas of old men to the shape of reality as they find it in villages and hills of China or in ghettos and suburbs of America.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.

Sometimes you get caught up in what's going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you're not just a regular guy.

It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.

I mean, the reality is unemployment today - over 14 million Americans are unemployed. That's exactly what it was a year ago. I mean, this - the American people know we can't borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.

There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.

And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.

In reality, the most important things happen when you don't look for them.

What I would have liked to do on that show was play a secretary of state who has huge personal business interests throughout the world. That, to me, seems to be more in synch with reality.

From a reality perspective, I'm sure part of that is true, but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don't know what is.

It's one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you're doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.

I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality in a unifying faith far removed from the headlines of violence, destruction and terrorism.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

In reality, for me every role is completely different.

Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.
