As Soon As I'm Finished

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.

I Started Drawing At A Very Young Age. Writing A Story Wasn't Satisfying, But To Actually Draw Our Own World - It's Like Controlling Your Own Dreams.

You Have To Find The Tone Of The Piece And Modulate That. There Are Ways To Indicate That - I Try To Incorporate The Biggest Range I Can Within The Story, Going From Humorous To Serious Without It Being Jarring. That's The Hardest Part, To Keep That Balance. It Requires Being Constantly Aware Of Where You Are In The Story. You Can't Really Do That In A Movie: You Can't Slightly Modulate The Tone By The Way The Character's Eyeballs Look In One Certain Scene.

The Greatest Moment Of My Life Was, Somebody Sent Me A Cable-access Show From Chicago That Had Joey Ramone On It Showing The Video We Made Together. And He Was Talking About, Like, "this Guy Dan Clowes Postponed His Wedding For Us. He's A Great Guy."

But They Always Just Laugh Off Everything I Say, When Really I Want Absolutely Nothing More Than To Destroy The World They Live In And To Watch Them Suffer, Alone And Miserable, Trying To Live In My World For A Change!
