thinking ideas stories
It's absolutely of no importance who or what V was under the mask. He isn't a who or a what, he's an idea. The thing is, you couldn't continue it. Now and then the idea of a sequel has been raised, in vague forms, but I think it would be a bad idea. The story's finished.
england tests nothing-to-lose
England have nothing to lose here, apart from this test match.
fire tests bowlers
If this bloke's a Test match bowler, then my backside is a fire engine
thinking penalties manchester-united
What do I think of the reverse sweep? It's like Manchester United getting a penalty and Bryan Robson taking it with his head
bombs reserves
We have to reserve the right to bomb the niggers.
winning clothes tennis
Wimbledon is getting a bit too like Royal Ascot. It's not what happens or who wins so much, as what clothes do I have on.
pride people gentleman
The Landlord is a gentleman who does not earn his wealth. He has a host of agents and clerks that receive for him. He does not even take the trouble to spend his wealth. He has a host of people around him to do the actual spending. He never sees it until he comes to enjoy it. His sole function, his chief pride, is the stately consumption of wealth produced by others.
jesus versailles christ
Not badly, considering I was seated between Jesus Christ and Napoleon.
strong socialist
I've always been a liberal and I've always had strong socialist leanings.
crazy artist views
But if you have a point of view and you're an artist or a writer, it's kind of crazy to not take advantage of that, especially if you can do something that's entertaining as well. I've done a number of things like that over the years.
opportunity pages details
I do like to work on a Marvel method, so if I've got the opportunity, and the writer is happy to do it, I like to have a writer detail what happens on a page, but not saying what happens in every scene.
artist talking drawing
I just sit at the drawing board most of the time. I am used to talking to people. I love going to conventions, getting feedback and talking to people. Some artists don't. Some artists sit at their drawing board because their personality actually dictates that.
strong views government
I understand why people do vote on the conservative side of the ticket because people have a tendency to go for strong governments when really, from an idealistic point of view, it's a bad thing.
people compromise forget
I'm interested in why people compromise when they shouldn't. It comes back to what V's about in a sense. We've all got ideals, but given the right circumstances, we'll forget about them and put them behind us. I'm very interested in why people do that.
