You Need To Be, Like, Turning Down

Certainly It's Great To Be Able To Talk To Your Friends About Something. They Might Mention A Film, And You Can Find All About It, And You Don't Have To Wait Months Until You Can Find A Book That Might Cover The Subject And Keep It In Your Head. You Can Have That Kind Of Immediacy. But There's Also Something About It, Where All The Knowledge Seems Kind Of Fleeting. All The Stuff I Learn About In That Way, I Can Be Interested In For A Day And Then It's Gone.

I Don't Read Much Of Anything Online.

I Have Cultivated A Little Crew Of People Whose Opinions I Understand. It's Like The Way You'd Follow Certain Film Critics Because You Know What Their Criteria Are, And You May Not Agree With Them, But You Can Glean From Their Opinion How You Will Feel About A Film.

It's Embarrassing To Be Involved In The Same Business As The Mainstream Comic Thing. It's Still Very Embarrassing To Tell Other Adults That I Draw Comic Books - Their Instant, Preconceived Notions Of What That Means.

At A Certain Point, I Realized That I Could Draw Anything, And There Was Nothing I Should Avoid - I Could Make It Work. That's Opened Me Up To Being Able To Be Much More Comfortable Telling Any Kind Of Story.
