If you're functional, it doesn't matter if you're mad.

In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.

It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.

Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.

London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.

Money's fine if it enables you to enjoy your life and to be useful to other people. But as something that is a means to an end, no, it's useless.

Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.

Every film is a remake of a previous film, or a remake of a television series that everyone loved in the 1960s, or a remake of a television series that everyone hated in the 1960s. Or it's a theme park ride; it will soon come to breakfast cereal mascots.

Everything you've ever read of mine is first-draft. This is one of the peculiarities of the comics field. By the time you're working on chapter three of your masterwork, chapter one is already in print.
