Generally what I produce is new. Of course, they are often variations on the same subject.

The reason I love comics more than anything else is that the longest story will be just a few pages. With a novel, it takes so many pages to get to one thing happening.

I think that true horror is accomplished by slowly getting into your brain. The old way is much more scary.

I have 40 years of unpublished material, the ones they don't pick, and the reason I don't redraw them or use them again is that I like to use my brain every day and come up with new jokes.

I'd love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.

When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.

I keep very weird hours. I never know when I'm going to get an idea.

Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.

I have always loved horror very much. I used to write stories for DC's House of Mystery. It was one of my first jobs writing for comics, and I loved it.

Generally what I produce is new. Of course, they are often variations on the same subject.

If the gag is complicated, you spend more time thinking about the way you're drawing it.

With Groo, I try to do one story every book. Sometimes the stories are better if they go a little longer, and I choose to do it in four issues.

The sad events that occur in my life are the sad events that happen to everybody, with losing friends and family, but that is a natural occurrence, as natural as being born.

Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design.

My best sources are my travels and my collection of National Geographic.

The Western, when I do one, will be one long, continuous story.

Once you've established where you are, you go to the character and elaborate on expressions and action.

When sadness happens in the middle of work, I separate my personal grief from my train of thought.

At the end of the '60s, I was trying to enter the world of comics.

Eventually I would like to touch all the genres. I would like to do some detective stories, and I want to do a Western. I would want to do humorous Westerns.

The Boogeyman is your conscience. The Boogeyman is the result of your own bad behavior. I love this Boogeyman.

Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.

For every issue, I send four pages of finished marginals and they select the ones they need.

Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there's the bad guy in the back seat. It's infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That's like going to bed and thinking there's a monster under your bed. It's silly.

I live in a very small town and now that I've closed down my studio, I'm working at home.

I don't enjoy the boo scare when you're watching a movie and then suddenly there's a big shark on the screen. The only thing they're doing is catching you off guard.

My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before.

It's fun to look at people that are so good at acting that aren't actors, like David Bowie creating a mystique about rock n' roll. I've listened to 'Ziggy Stardust' as much as any rock n' roll fan - I don't really know what it's about, but it sure is fun to think about David Bowie as this mad creation.

I have the attention span of a 2-year-old. I like to jump from project-to-project.

Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad.

I enjoy talking to young people, and talking to people about helping young people. That part is not a chore. It's pretty fun, and something I like to do because I think it's important.

The union of the Word and the Mind produces that mystery which is called Life... Learn deeply of the Mind and its mystery, for therein lies the secret of immortality.

I don't normally cook, but if I did it probably would be beans, sausage, bacon and eggs. I never really get to eat that to be honest.

Europe were kind of the first ones to embrace my music; the kids from around the way would come out to my shows and really enjoy it.

I love to perform at benefits and charity fundraisers.

Music doesn't really require whether the person's a young person or old person for whatever kind of music it is.

Marriage Asian-style is practical, contractual and, to the western mind, deeply unromantic.

Design is the application of intent the opposite of happenstance and an antidote to accident.

Spend more time on what gives you energy and less of what takes it away.

I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.

My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.

Islamic terrorists do not need an excuse to attack the United States. To attack us is what they do; they attack us for what we are.

I don't like plots. I don't know what a plot means. I can't stand the idea of anything that starts in the beginning - you know, 'beginning, middle and end.'

Strange to the world, he wore a bashful look, The fields his study, Nature was his book.

We would frequently be ashamed of our good deeds if people saw all of the motives that produced them.

I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them.

[When it comes to God] We can't run out of second chances...only time.

Its Friday the 13th Its only bad luck if you put it in your head. Think its just another day stay positive. Have faith with God

The darkness is really out there. It's not something that's in my head, just. It's in my work because it's in the world.
