Every city began as a campsite - pg. 25
Chris Ware
I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.
Chris Ware
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
Chris Ware
I guess we all make choices as to how we want to live, right?
Chris Ware
Comic strip is almost like music on a page that you perform in your mind. It's not just pictures. There's a particular rhythm and structure to it that is unlike anything else. It literally is like music. You hear it in your mind as you read it.
Chris Ware
There is absolutely no single aspect of one's personality that is more important to develop than empathy, which is not a skill at which men typically are asked to excel. I believe empathy is not only the core of art, literature and music, but should also be at the core of society, from ethics to economics.
Chris Ware
I wouldn't classify television as cool, because to me anything that involves the reader's consciousness to drive and carry a story is an active medium, and anything that sort of just pours into the eyeballs and ears is the opposite.
Chris Ware
My mother was always encouraging about my wanting to be an artist.
Chris Ware
I think it has most to do with the way in which a story is told, whether it feels real either via the music of the telling or the honesty of the story.
Chris Ware
Comics is different than writing because when you draw something you are trying to visualize it and you are trying to put yourself in that space. And when you're drawing something, all sorts of associations come up in my mind that I never would have thought of otherwise.
Chris Ware
As a cartoonist, my single goal is to create people with whom, for better or for worse - and regardless of how embarrassing it sounds - I can fall in love and somehow feel something deeply about, and through.
Chris Ware
Sometimes I get worried I'm getting too caught up in the nauseatingly oily smoothness of my own line, when all I'm trying to do is make it as clear as possible.
Chris Ware
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
Chris Ware
Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.
Chris Ware
The thing I don't understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it's all the creation of some alien race.
Chris Ware
Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done.
Chris Ware
I think cartooning gets at, and re-creates on the page, some sixth sense ... in a way no other medium can.
Chris Ware
Lately, I cant shake the feeling that Ive been living a dream for the last 10 years or so I cant account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.
Chris Ware
I have a preponderance to look smug in photos something to do with the way my mouth turns up at the corners.
Chris Ware
Whereas in a memory you edit things out and sort of restructure the things to seem a little bit more heroic, or to focus on particular aspects that magnify or reduce certain things.
