Alan Moore

On the one occasion where I did try writing a screenplay, I found the rewriting just unendurable.

Every film is a remake of a previous film, or a remake of a television series that everyone loved in the 1960s, or a remake of a television series that everyone hated in the 1960s. Or it's a theme park ride it will soon come to breakfast cereal mascots.

Happiness is the most insidious prison of all.

Alan Moore
Image
There's been a growing dissatisfaction and distrust with the conventional publishing industry, in that you tend to have a lot of formerly reputable imprints now owned by big conglomerates.
Alan Moore
Image
I thought as much. Miss Murray, though I am a beast, do not think that I am stupid. I know that I am hideous and hateful. I am not loved, nor ever hope to be. Nor am I fool enough to think that what I feel for you is love. But in this world, alone, I do not hate you. And alone in this world, you do not hate me.

I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.

The things we do without the fear of failure and the desire for success are the purest acts we'll ever do

I love the smell of paper in the morning it smells like victory.
Alan Moore
Image
You know what I wish? I wish all the scum of the Earth had one throat and I had my hands about it.

Perhaps this is the purpose of all art, all writing, on the murders, fiction and non-fiction: Simply to participate.
