I love films that are made with almost no budget.
Alan Moore

I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.

Alan Moore
Image
London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.
Alan Moore
Image
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.
Alan Moore
Image
I think that we need mythology. We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently.
Alan Moore
Image
Things are tough all over, cupcake, an' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike...except in California.
Alan Moore
Image
I felt, if I'm going to react I might as well over react.
Alan Moore
Image
Ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
Image
Nothing is insoluble. Nothing is hopeless. Not while there's life.

Well, what do you expect? The Comedian is dead.
