world force make-sense
The world doesn't make sense until you force it to.
boys tables surgeons
You don't... get it, boy... This isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon.
sin-city want littles
Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it.
cartoon modern holy
It is more raw and unfettered and I'm more likely going into something you could call extreme cartooning. There's a lot of that in the course of 'Holy Terror.' There are interludes where there are pictures - cartoon pictures - of modern figures and they are all wordless. It's up to readers to put the words in.
happy-life people long
I'm a spoilt brat. I thought I was just going to walk in and make movies. But I'd been my own boss for so long that all of a sudden to be facing a roomful of people who were niggling over every little scene... I just thought I'd go back and draw my comics and have a happy life.
fun character thinking
I don't own an ounce of the work I've ever done on 'Batman,' and I still work on 'Batman.' I love the character, I think it's a lot of fun, and it's kind of fun to be in that ballpark every once in a while, where you're seeing a different crowd.
als needs hell
I can tell you squat about Islamism. But I know a lot about Al Quaeda, and they need to burn in hell.
pain bullets sometimes
You can never escape me. Bullets don't harm me. Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I KNOW pain. Sometimes I share it. With someone like you.
sin-city knowing waking
Hell’s waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you’re here.
rain moving men
This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle - broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would ... ... but I'm a man of thirty - of twenty again. The rain on my chest is a baptism - I'm born again ...
rain baptism born
The rain on my chest is a baptism - I'm born again.
jobs book reality
Comic-book pages are vertical, and movie screens are relentlessly horizontal. But it's all the same form. We use different tools, but we get the job done. I'm completely in love with CGI. It's great for conveying a cartoonist's sense of reality.
practice cinema towns
Hollywood is a town; it's not a medium. And cinema is a medium you can practice anywhere.
running book library
I guess in my own egotistical way I like to create my own library of Batman books that doesn't run contrary to a single thing that has been published before, but it also stands on its own.
