Romantic poetry had its heyday when people like Lord Byron were kicking it large. But you try and make a living as a poet today, and you'll find it's very different!

I leave the human cockroaches to discuss their heroin and child pornography.

You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.

I don't really have any great interest in writing for movies. Comics, to me, is a much more promising field. There's still a lot of ground to be broken in comics, whereas movies, to a degree... I don't know. They're a wonderful art form, but they're not my favorite art form. They might not even be in the top five of my favorite art forms.

I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.

In many ways, my entire graphic novel career was a long diversion. Originally, all I wanted to do was to be an underground cartoonist and maybe bring out a groovy underground mag.

As people get more desperate, history suggests that they're not going to rise in a mighty proletarian tidal wave and wash away their oppressors. They're gonna turn on each other.

Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images to achieve changes in consciousness

Technology is always a two-edged sword. It will bring in many benefits, but also many disasters.

The one place gods inarguably exist is in the human mind.

I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.

They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.
