My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families.

• Comics, for me, is being able to sing alone in the shower. I find it freeing. You just pick up a pen and get to it.
• To be able to sit in Donald Trump's apartment and talk about the future of corporate real estate was amazing.
• I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.
• I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form.
• Well, there's different shades of Hollywood, sure. I mean, I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
• The comic book world is a tough business.
• I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car.
• My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind.
• If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.' If you ask a 26-year-old what he wants to do, 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he'd probably pick Lars von Trier. So, my sensibilities are changing as I change.
• They're very, uh, you know, I don't come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they're cool and bare minimum so it's not always a money issue for me.
