I Try Personally Not To

Alfred Hitchcock Talked About Planning Out His Movies So Meticulously That When He Was Actually Shooting And Editing, It Was The Most Boring Thing In The World. But Drawing Comics Isn't Like Shooting A Movie. You Can Shoot A Movie In A Few Days And Be Done With It, But Drawing A Comic Takes Years And Years... That's The Biggest Part Of Doing Comics: You Have To Create Stuff That Makes You Want To Get Out Of Bed Every Morning And Get To Work.

In A Movie, You Have To Be Mindful That No Budget Is Going To Be Able To Deal With Running Around The Globe At Every Whim Of The Writer.

My Feeling Is That It's One Of The Very Few Things That Comics Can Do That You Really Can't Do In Any Other Medium. I Feel Like The Reader Accepts All Of These Styles, And After A Certain Point You Can Flip The Pages And See A Character Rendered Very Differently Than You Saw On An Earlier Page, And It's Not Jarring. It Suggests Things That You Can't Suggest Just In The Writing Or In The Plotting.

I Lose Faith In Everything Else, But Rarely In My Work. If I Start To Get Bored, I Change It To Make It More Interesting. I Try Not To Take It Too Seriously, But I Also Try To Never Cheat Or Hurry Things Along.

It's A Challenge To Express Real Life In Dramatic Terms. In An Entirely "made-up" Story, You Are Sometimes Overwhelmed By The Infinite Possibilities.
