More quotes by 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
Speaking as a human being, not as a businessman - the unions are great. The unions are great for the working people because they protect you, but I didn't see them that way as a young man. First of all, the papers would connect them with thee communists - labor unions were communists.
Jack Kirby
I took a great joy with inventing new kinds of mechanisms. I invented new kinds of machines. I've been a student of science fiction for a long, long time, and I'm very well-versed in science fact and science fiction.
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
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 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

Jack Kirby
I admired anybody who could make a buck with his drawing.
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
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 hated to fight all the time just to enjoy my day. Fighting wasn't the kind of thing that I enjoyed, but I grew to enjoy it because I did it so long.
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
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 didn't have an affinity for horror. But I knew that commercially it was viable.
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 was a good student in the subjects that I wanted to be good in. The curriculum in my section was excellent.
Jack Kirby
Every father was his own man. He did what he wanted. If your mother went shopping, your father never went with her.
Jack Kirby

Jack Kirby
