More quotes by Jack Kirby
I want to be better than five guys. I was that way when I used to box, I was that way in any sport. I want to compete with five other guys. If I beat five other guys, I'd like to see if I can beat six.
Jack Kirby
Once we've learned enough about the universe we will admit to ourselves that we will never know everything.
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
Any kind of music can be written badly and it can be written wonderfully. I admire a top performer in any field.
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
Some of my friends became gangsters. You became a gangster depending upon how fast you wanted a suit. Gangsters weren't the stereotypes you see in the movies. I knew the real ones, and the real ones were out for big money.
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 had very high respect for the Pratt Institute, but I thought that I had done my best, and that was not their version of the best.
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
If you think a man draws the type of hands that you want to draw, steal ‘em. Take those hands.
Jack Kirby
Our dreams make us large.
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've never done anything half-heartedly it's a disservice to me and the audience if I do it half-heartedly.
Jack Kirby
Comics have a caste system - an editor has to act in a certain way, an artist has to be humble.
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 admired anybody who could make a buck with his drawing.
Jack Kirby
I like entertainment. I'm an innate admirer of good entertainment. I'll listen to MTV, I'll listen to Mozart, I'll listen to anything that has a good element in it.
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 had to make a living. I was a married man. I had a wife. I had a home. I had children. I had to make a living. That's the common pursuit of every man.
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.
