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.

Our dreams make us large.
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 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
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 achieved perfection, my type of perfection - visual storytelling. Storytelling was my style.
Jack Kirby
I was an artist, but not a self-proclaimed great artist, just a common man who was working in a form of art which is universal.
Jack Kirby
My anatomy was self-taught. I feel everybody has that ability. I drew instinctively. Mine was an instinctive style.
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
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
Of course, mothers were very conventional, everything was very conventional. You had to have approval.
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 never duck out of a fight I don't care what the hell the odds are, and I'm rough at times, but I try to be a decent guy all the time. That's the way I've always lived.
Jack Kirby
Comics have a caste system - an editor has to act in a certain way, an artist has to be humble.
Jack Kirby
If you're drawing a Western town, you can duplicate that Western town from instinct alone. Some artists may take it from other illustrations or duplicate what you've drawn, but it will never have that gut reality that's instinctive in the artist.
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
Once we've learned enough about the universe we will admit to ourselves that we will never know everything.
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
There was violence because first of all, there were ethnic differences and names. If you were small, they called you a runt, and you had to do something about that even if there were five other guys.
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
I'm OMAC! Evacuate this section! I'm going to destroy it!
Jack Kirby
