Daniel Clowes Quotes

«I have this certain vision of the way I want my comics to look; this sort of photographic realism, but with a certain abstraction that comics can give. It's kind of a fine line.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«When you see somebody who's got a complaining personality, it usually means that they had some vision of what things could be, and they're constantly disappointed by that. I think that would be the camp that I would fall into - constantly horrified by the things people do.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«There's a lot of great cartoonists working, but I don't see too many people coming along who are of the 'where have you been all my life?' variety.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«Comic characters have to have some kind of life breathed into them, and I'm never exactly sure how that's done, but you can tell when it works and when it doesn't. There's nothing worse than looking at a comic when somebody doesn't have that. It's like looking at store windows or something.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«I must have been 3 years old or less, and I remember paging through these comics, trying to figure out the stories. I couldn't read the words, so I made up my own stories.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«Believe it or not, the characters are all like people I went to art school with in the '70s.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«I don't think anything to do with who publishes the work matters at all, as long as they're not compromising to get published.»
Author: Daniel Clowes
«It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.»
