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

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.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.
