Don't just be yourself. Be all of yourself. Don't just live. Be that other thing connected to death. Be life. Live all of your life. Understand it, see it, appreciate it. And have fun.
Whatever makes you weird is probably your greatest asset.
Half of writing history is hiding the truth.
There's a time and place for everything, and I believe it’s called 'fan fiction'.
All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn't your pet -- it's your kid. It grows up and talks back to you.
You are going to change the world, because that is actually what the world is. You do not pass through this life, it passes through you. You experience it, you interpret it, you act, and then it is different. That happens constantly. You are changing the world. You always have been.
I wish more people would take the extraordinary talent they have and just let their id go because that's what we discovered. We discovered that the sillier we got, the more people believed that we were speaking from our hearts.
Because it’s no longer enough to be a decent person. It’s no longer enough to shake our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news. True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save humanity from itself.
Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need.
Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.
The thing with the comics is that you have license to go down every alley your brain can think of.
You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.
Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want.
Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that.
