β€œI want the color to bounce off the characters, so that it will catch the reader’s eye. I try to bring out the main elements and kill the unimportant details. That gives you impact.”

β€œWhen you write psychologically or intellectually, you have a tune in your mind, and you re-write it. It’s an intellectual approach. The emotional is my favorite because it comes from my kishkas; it comes from my soul.”

β€œFrankly, I doubt I could write a non-comedy novel if I tried. That’s not to say I find it impossible to write about serious subjects, or make serious points about important subjects. Though it may be impossible to be taken seriously.”

β€œWe had an incredible time making [Revenge of the Nerds]. It was a lot of fun. And I think that the camera records how you actually feel and…the camera recorded that. That was one of the things that made that film work on a massive level.”

β€œI don’t think you go to a play to forget, or to a movie to be distracted. I think life generally is a distraction and that going to a movie is a way to get back, not go away.”

β€œInking is a blast. I could do it in my sleep. There’s a little hyperbole there, but that’s the way I look at it. Inking is just a lot of fun and that’s why I enjoy it so much, because to me it’s really not work.”
