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.

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.

An isolationist America is no bloody use to anyone.

My focus is that firearms are handled safely and that we can continue to enjoy them here in North America.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

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.

Who cares about that stuff? This is America, not Jerusalem. I'm an American. Let Harry be a Jew.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.

I'm about to become a member of the Chemists Society of America. I'm very proud of that.

It's a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It's America's genre.

It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.

If we can just take a few companies, and use those as models, as examples, to show the rest of corporate America how they can become more competitive, that's what I'd like to do and that's what I hope to do.

The surest way to return to the people's business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and won't leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

Gary Smith, when I came to America, taught me a great deal about racing.

Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within the United States itself.

I've always thought that if Israel really wanted to solve the problem, they'd just start tomorrow and push right to the Jordan River, and anything in their way goes. They don't need America or someone else to help.
