I try not to worry about rewriting books that worked well the first time. I'm too busy writing new books to worry about things that are already in print. ↗

I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it. ↗

We've sent 130 men to death row to be executed in this country, at least 130 that we know of, who have later have been exonerated because they were either innocent, or they were not fairly tried. That's 130 people that we've locked down on death row. And they've spent years there. ↗

Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself. ↗

As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair. ↗

Sometimes people try to read into my strip and find out what my state of mind is. And I can say if I'm in a good mood, generally the comic strip starts out in a good mood, but the punchline is very negative and sour. ↗
