A Man Is Entitled To Draw Things

Some Of My Friends Became Gangsters. You Became A Gangster Depending Upon How Fast You Wanted A Suit. Gangsters Weren't The Stereotypes You See In The Movies. I Knew The Real Ones, And The Real Ones Were Out For Big Money.

The Artist Is The Lowest Form Of Life On The Rung Of The Ladder. The Publishers Are Usually Businessmen Who Deal With Businessmen. They Deal With Promotional People. They Deal With Financial People. They Deal With Accountants. They Deal With People Who Work On Higher Levels. They Deal With Tax People, But Have Absolutely No Interest In Artists, In Individual Artists, Especially Very Young Artists.

I Felt The Comics Grew Because They Became The Common Man's Literature, The Common Man's Art, The Common Man's Publishing.

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.

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.
