" I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually, I always wanted to be in a comic book.

So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool. "

"

" It's so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff, writing and making movies and TV, but there's laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It's viable and mainstream. "
