More quotes by 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 being brought up on peasant stories my mother came from Europe and she'd been a peasant and that was the area where the Frankensteins and the Draculas came from and it was entertainment for the people. Nobody had TV, and that was the way peasants would entertain themselves, by telling these stories.
Jack Kirby
Our dreams make us large.
Jack Kirby
There were very strict social conventions, and you adhered to it, and I think it gave you a lot of character. When a man said something, he meant it. He wasn't kidding around. There were no jokes involved. Nobody was in the mood to joke unless you hit a guy with a baseball bat.
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 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
I've never done anything half-heartedly. It's the reason my comics did well. It's the reason my comics were drawn well. I can't do anything bad.
Jack Kirby
Nobody ever wrote a story for me. I told in every story what was really inside my gut, and it came out that way. My stories began to get noticed because the average reader could associate with them.
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'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'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 feel that any man that tries, any man that comes out with something we like, is a good man. A man doesn't have to be Leonardo Da Vinci to be sincere.
Jack Kirby
I admired anybody who could make a buck with his drawing.
Jack Kirby
I achieved perfection, my type of perfection - visual storytelling. Storytelling was my style.
Jack Kirby
Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many others--almost as awesome!! But they merely exist!!
Jack Kirby
I never had stock endings. I didn't believe in stock endings. To make the [reader] happy was not my objective, but to make the [reader] say, Yeah, that's what would happen - that was my objective.
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 draw people as I see them. I'm not involved in making artistic masterpieces. My, my object is to mirror people and I've always done that.
Jack Kirby
Once we've learned enough about the universe we will admit to ourselves that we will never know everything.
Jack Kirby
My style is personal, my style of writing is personal, and I believe in that. I believe what comes out of me is an individual thing, and that's why I, I believe in the individual.
Jack Kirby
