More quotes by Bill Watterson
There are no restrictions of taste, approach, or subject matter. The gatekeepers are gone, so the prospect for new and different voices is exciting. Or at least it will be if anyone reads them. And it will be even more exciting if anyone pays for them. It's hard to charge admission without a gate.

Bill Watterson
It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!

If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don't get asked to do it again.
Bill Watterson

If you've ever compared a film to a novel it's based on, you know the novel gets bludgeoned. It's inevitable, because different media have different strengths and needs, and when you make a movie, the movie's needs get served.
Bill Watterson
I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.
Bill Watterson
For me, it's been liberating to put myself in the mind of a fictitious six year-old each day, and rediscover my own curiosity. I've been amazed at how one idea leads to others if I allow my mind to play and wander.
Bill Watterson
I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone's expectations.
