life
Doubt yourself all you want, but you have to make choices in life and live with them.
huge island taught
'Monkey Island 2' was a huge game for me. It kind of taught me all about comedy.
trying
I'm always exploring other people: trying to figure out myself, trying to figure out everyone.
beginnings believer definitely dismiss endings firm people sort stories tread
I'm a firm believer in stories with arcs and beginnings and endings and all that. 'Scott Pilgrim' is sort of one long novel, and it's so long that I get confused and sort of tread water sometimes. But there's definitely a goal to it. People who just dismiss it as shallow, that's their prerogative, but it's not really my intent.
along culture
Culture is evolving, and I'm along for the ride.
pulls releases
Each new book that comes out kind of pulls up the old ones a little bit. The new releases are always going to bolster the old releases.
period
After a long period of not drawing, you have to, like, relearn how to draw. It's not very fun.
life
I always like to write where I'm at in real life into whatever I'm working on.
information
When I was a kid, I desperately wanted more background information on especially cartoonists.
compelled drawn serious stories strongly
I just have this thing in my head that I want to do serious stories that are still just way too cute and drawn in a really cute, appealing, rounded, childish way, and it's like, I don't know if it makes sense - but it's just something I'm really strongly compelled to do.
fairy grounded plenty restaurant takes tale town version
'Seconds' is grounded in the reality of this restaurant environment, and I did do plenty of research, so there's that. It takes place in a town that is like a kinder, gentler fairy tale version of reality. Then it takes off into a story that is very strange, very mental.
grew moved
I grew up in London, Ontario, and moved to Toronto when I was 22 or 23.
against anyone battles crappy fine forces lines people sets trying
I don't think anyone ever sets out to make a crappy movie, but there are a lot of forces working against those people who are trying to make something decent. There are a lot of fine lines to walk and small battles to fight.
feels kinda object
I don't really have a metaphor for how I write, but it kinda feels like chipping away at a big dark object that I can't really see.
