"Be joyful because it is humanly possible."

-- Wendell Berry

“My job is to make myself available to play to the best of my ability. Mentally, I've got to stay ready to play every day.”
“There are so many needs in the world, and our hearts cannot carry them all. You must walk to the priorities God has set before you.”
“In early comics, you see the amazing awkwardness and bizarre reasoning in the storyline, and it's because comics hadn't really been invented yet. There was no format for them to follow. They were just making it up. So I try to incorporate that kind of awkwardness in my comics quite frequently, which is odd. In some ways, I can't be as awkward as I'd like. But I do think that's one way in which my comics are unusual, because I will try to make the artwork look bad, occasionally.”
“We want to live a simple life, ... I want to emphasize I'm not an environmentalist who goes to church. I want my principal identity as a Christian to be someone who follows Jesus. I want to work for peace and justice, care for God's environment, be a good neighbor and friend and live the right life.”
“I'm not a writer, inherently. Most of the writers I've met have stories they need to tell. I don't have that. I'm an interpreter. I like getting a script, seeing a character and thinking, "Oh, wow, I know what I can do with that."”
“No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.”
“Saving the world was merely a hobby. My *vocation* has been that of inspector of desert water holes.”
“I think, especially when you're on TV, once you become associated with one genre or the other, it's near impossible to break into the other one, even if you have experience with both.”
