great guy
We are very excited. He is an excitable kind of guy and very positive. He is going to be a great addition.
army class guy
In the Army when we had judo classes, out of the class of 27 just me and another guy graduated. I grew to enjoy it because I knew I could do it well. I tried to do everything well.
names differences guy
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.
hurt fighting guy
You fought fair. If the other guy wants to fight and you knocked him out, you did your best for him. You didn't want to hurt him any more.
kids people guy
An American is a guy, a rich guy with a family, a decent guy with a family with as many kids as he likes, doing what he wants, working with people that he likes, and enjoying himself to his very old age.
sports guy want
I want to be better than five guys. I was that way when I used to box, I was that way in any sport. I want to compete with five other guys. If I beat five other guys, I'd like to see if I can beat six.
art school guy
I feel that every professional is the art school for the next guy. I feel that maybe a lot of the dynamism in my own work, having been felt by the rest of the artists, they'll react to it and put elements of that in their own work, feeling that it'll help it.
artist guy actors
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.
people guy association
The people who worked in comics were terrific guys. I had a good association with them, and I enjoyed comics for that very reason.
real guy would-be
The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.
handed
I was handed a chocolate bar and an M-1 rifle and told to go kill Hitler.
devil perfectionist
Perfectionists are their own devils.
talent dedicated great-talent
Mort Meskin was a consummate professional, dedicated to his work. A great talent.
fighting odds ducks
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.
