You Can Read A Shakespeare Play, But

I Used To Be Embarrassed Because I Was Just A Comic-book Writer While Other People Were Building Bridges Or Going On To Medical Careers. And Then I Began To Realize: Entertainment Is One Of The Most Important Things In People's Lives. Without It They Might Go Off The Deep End. I Feel That If You're Able To Entertain People, You're Doing A Good Thing.

I Have Always Tried To Have A Message, Not To Be A Preacher, But A Message That Shows It's Better To Be A Good Guy Than A Bad Guy, And I Try To Make It Clear That Doing The Right Thing Is More Attractive Than Not.

I Think Almost Everybody Enjoyed Fairy Tales When They Were Young, Tales Of Witches And Ogres And Monsters And Dragons And So Forth. You Get A Little Bit Older, You Can't Read Fairy Tales Any More.

I Think Any Comic Book - Or Really, Any Book That You Can Read - In A Sense Is An Educational Tool In That It Helps Literacy. The More You Read, The Better You Get At It. It Almost Doesn't Matter What You Read, The Important Thing Is For Young People To Become Readers.

There's Never A Time When I'm Not Working. I Don't Take Vacations.
