real communication hero
I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.
art magic language
Magic and art tend to share a lot of the same language. They both talk about evocation, invocation, and conjuring.
art writing thinking
I don't think there's really any difference between art - or writing, or music - and magic. And I particularly draw the link between magic and writing. I think that they are profoundly connected
narrative information different
The comics medium has some unusual features that do make it very different, in that it's combining a verbal narrative with a visual one that allows for much richer possibilities of transmitting information.
people trying groups
It doesn't do you any service to demonize any group of people. It's much better to try and understand from the inside.
shy parades persons
I'm not a very shy person. I'm just somebody who's got a lot of work and who doesn't like to parade himself in new celebrity contexts.
thinking demon alcoholics
When I hear alcoholics talk about having their demons, I think that they're probably absolutely literally correct.
world save-the-world please
Please! Don't all leave. Somebody has to do it, don't you see? Somebody has to save the world...
past years everyday
I'm 65 years old. Everyday the future looks a little bit darker. But the past, even the grimy parts of it, well, it just keeps on getting brighter all the time.
film made love-films
I love films that are made with almost no budget.
reason event-horizon lacking
We are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.

All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day." The Joker - The Killing Joke
stories imaginary
This is an IMAGINARY STORY...aren't they all?
men mask function
Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.
