dog want too-much
I don't have a dog, because I travel too much. I don't want to just leave it abandoned.
dream real mean
For me, fantasy has always been a means of exploring reality: it explores the fact that your internal life, your dreams and the weird images and the things that come to you are things that are actually important tools for dealing with real issues.
drawing interesting way
I don't look at my films or my old drawings much, so that was an interesting way to kind of reconnect with myself a bit.
different exciting different-things
There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.
thinking names impact
I think of Ray Harryhausen's work - I knew his name before I knew any actor or director's names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that's what made me interested in animation: His work.
crazy blessed thinking
If you want people to leave you alone then appearing to be crazy is a good thing. If you're walking down the street talking to yourself people tend to give you a wide berth! But I've always been blessed with being easily ignored or avoided. I think maybe it's because people think I look a little crazy.
technology drawing age
I am not a big technology person. I don't go on the Internet really much at all. Drawing is like a zen thing; it's private, which in this day and age is harder to come by.
children trying
A lot of things you see as a child remain with you you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.
running hero boys
Stain Boy Of all the super heroes, the strangest one by far, doesn't have a special power, or drive a fancy car. next to Superman and batman, I guess he must seem tame. But to me he is quite special, and Stain Boy is his name. He can't fly around tall buildings, or outrun a speeding train, the only talent he seems to have is to leave a nasty stain. Sometimes I know it bothers him, that he can't run or swim or fly, and because of this one ability, his dry cleaning bill is sky-high.
too-much logic sometimes
It's hard to find logic in things sometimes. That's why I can't analyze things too much, because it often doesn't make much sense.
leaving nasty talent
He can't fly around tall buildings, or outrun a speeding train, the only talent he seems to have is leaving a nasty stain!
kids thinking world
I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.
book kevin comic
Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith.
passion trying quality
One of the things that we were trying to do with this show was the complexities of relationships and love. There is both passion and longing and a bittersweet quality to it that is a part of life.
