I realize that I'm pretty flawed, but you know - I haven't killed anybody yet.
I don't think I made any really big mistakes; it's just that I chose something difficult to do. Looking back, I suppose I should be grateful that I got as far as I got.
Life is about women, gigs, an' bein' creative.
I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.
Am I a guy who writes about himself in a comic book, or am I just a character in that book? If I die, will that character keep going, or will he just fade away?
People will believe absurd things - in the 19th century and now.
As a matter of fact, I deliberately look for the mundane, because I feel these stories are ignored. The most influential things that happen to virtually all of us are the things that happen on a daily basis. Not the traumas.
I think that the so-called average person often exhibits a great deal of heroism in getting through an ordinary day . . .
Comics are words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures.
I always wanted praise and I always wanted attention; I won't lie to you. I was a jazz critic and that wasn't good enough for me. I wanted people to write about me, not me about them. So I thought, What could I do? I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't act or anything like that. OK, I can write.
Since about 1980 Kenny Werner has been one of jazz’s unsung heroes
I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though.
Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.
If we don't get gun-control laws in this country, we are full of beans. To have the National Rifle Association rule the United States is pathetic. And I agree with Mayor Michael Bloomberg: It's time to put up or shut up about gun control for both parties.
