I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.
Bill Watterson
I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood.
Bill Watterson
Of course, REAL zombies never get the giggles when they look at each other.
Bill Watterson
I played in rock bands in college and then right out of college I moved over to Europe and lived in Ireland for about four years playing in indie rock bands. I love and miss being in a band, I still am in a band but pursuing that as a career I definitely missed it but I felt like that ship had sailed.
Bill Watterson
I'd like to see cartoonists measuring their work by higher standards than how many papers their strips are in and how much money they make.
Bill Watterson
In a comic strip, you can suggest motion and time, but it's very crude compared to what an animator can do. I have a real awe for good animation.
Bill Watterson
In the right hands, a comic strip attains a beauty and elegance that, really, I would put against any other art.
Bill Watterson
Once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is.
Bill Watterson
There is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do.
Bill Watterson
We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.
Bill Watterson
Even when you look for it, you're never prepared for it.
Bill Watterson
Blustery cold days should be spend propped up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a pile of comic books.
Bill Watterson
At school, new ideas are thrust at you every day. Out in the world, you'll have to find your inner motivation to seek for new ideas on your own.
Bill Watterson
I guess I just don't have the killer instinct that I think makes a great political cartoonist.
Bill Watterson
My likely historical significance is a terrible burden. ~ Calvin
Bill Watterson
Selling out is usually more a matter of buying in. Sell out, and you’re really buying into someone else’s system of values, rules and rewards.
Bill Watterson
It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!
Bill Watterson
People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.
Bill Watterson
Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you are informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize nothing is as clear as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing. Being a man of action, I cannot afford to take that risk. Hobbes: You're ignorant, but at least you act on it.
Bill Watterson
If you don't get a goodnight kiss, you get Kafka dreams.
