dancing week
I was a clubber in the Nineties. I went dancing every week.
strong work-out territory
I prefer working out of strict continuity, because no normal human being can have a firm grip on the constantly shifting bardo-like territory of a comics universe, where entire histories can be erased by a strong enough super-sneeze.
people hell
Whatever you do, make sure you go right to the top, because you sure as hell can't piss upwards on people.
christian mother stars
The 'medium' is unaware of its attractiveness, that's all. Everyone loves comics. I've proven this to my own satisfaction by handing them out to acountants, insurance brokers, hairdressers, mothers of children, black belts, pop stars, taxi drivers, painters, lesbians, doctors etc. etc. The X-Files, Buffy, the Matrix, X-Men - mainstream culture is not what it once was when science fiction and comics fans huddled in cellars like Gnostic Christians dodging the Romans. We should come up into the light soon before we suffocate.

My greatest accomplishment so far is to keep selling enough that I never want for the labor that sustains my Presbyterian soul.

A cannon fires only once but words detonate across centuries
thinking symbolism language
Truth speaks best in the language of poetry and symbolism, I think.
winning magic desire
Performing magic has a lot to do with the arrangement of apparent coincidences and providing pathways along which desires can travel, or, to put it in more basic terms, there's little point in sigilizing for a lottery win if you don't also buy a lottery ticket.
grateful writing unorthodox
It surprises me constantly that my sometimes-unorthodox approach has such a large following, but I'm very grateful to my readers for allowing me to continue writing 10 or 12 hours a day.
pain sadness long
I AM happy”. They understood what we english people have long forgot. We're not our sadness. We're not our happiness or our pain but our language hypnotizes us and traps us in little labelled boxes ()
mirrors remember made
Remember it's all just a mirror we made to see ourselves in.
consciousness
Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.
rooms lennon convince
It’s mostly just you have to convince yourself that there’s nothing else in the room but John Lennon and suddenly things start John Lennon-ing!
