More quotes by Jack Kirby
There are people that I didn't like, but I saw them suffer and it changed me. I promised myself that I would never tell a lie, never hurt another human being, and I would try to make the world as positive as I could.
Jack Kirby
I've never done anything half-heartedly it's a disservice to me and the audience if I do it half-heartedly.
Jack Kirby
Our dreams make us large.
Jack Kirby
I write from a people's point of view. I love people because I understand them. I understand an enemy, I understand a friend, I understand grey areas, and I understand black areas.
Jack Kirby
I wasn't the kind of student that Pratt was looking for. They wanted patient people who would work on something forever. I didn't want to work on any project forever. I intended to get things done.
Jack Kirby
I always resent anybody interfering with anybody else trying to do his job. Everybody has his own job to do. If he's good, he'll do well, but if he's mediocre, he's not going to do as well as he should.
Jack Kirby
I would've liked to have been a better businessman when I was younger. And of course, I couldn't, because it wasn't part of my atmosphere. I never lived with accountants, I never lived with lawyers.
Jack Kirby
It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.
Jack Kirby
Everybody can draw, in my estimation. If you give a man 50 years, he'll come up with the Mona Lisa.
Jack Kirby
I always enjoyed doing monster books. Monster books gave me the opportunity to draw things out of the ordinary. Monster books were a challenge - what kind of monster would fascinate people?
Jack Kirby
I've never done anything bad. I can't do anything bad. It's got to be professional. It's got to look professional. It's got to read professional. In other words, it serves its purpose by entertaining a reader.
Jack Kirby
I'm a guy who had to perform some way. I had to perform in some way. If not as an actor, I'd perform as an artist. It would have been something that would be outstanding in its own way.
Jack Kirby
I'm not interested in the ego trip of creating or not creating. I'm interested in selling a magazine. Rock-bottom, I sell magazines. I'm a thorough professional who does his job.
Jack Kirby
I achieved perfection, my type of perfection - visual storytelling. Storytelling was my style.
Jack Kirby
My parents loved me. My father used to carry me around on my shoulders. I know my father loved me. All families love their children, and we were good boys.
Jack Kirby
Of course, mothers were very conventional, everything was very conventional. You had to have approval.
Jack Kirby
I'd had a belly-full of being subservient. I had to find something else to do, and I did. I went to the animation houses. I went to new fields.
Jack Kirby
I won't do anything bad, and I resent very deeply bad people who haven't got the ability, who try to interfere with the kind of work I'm trying to do because nobody's going to benefit from it.
Jack Kirby
I was a good student in the subjects that I wanted to be good in. The curriculum in my section was excellent.
Jack Kirby
I couldn't draw anything that was too outlandish or too horrible. I never did that. What I did draw was something intriguing. There was something about this monster that you could live with. If you saw him you wouldn't faint dead away.
