Daniel Clowes People Quotations

Believe it or not, the characters are all like people I went to art school with in the '70s.

When people get things for free, they tend to not take them as seriously.

People seem to need a likable protagonist more than ever.

That's been my main interest for the last 15 years, is to really make sure the story and the characters take precedence over everything else, and that I give them everything I can to make them exist as actual people.

I tend to be the type who is overly polite and sort of ingratiating to other people.

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 really want people to read the book, and bookstores never sold an issue of Eightball because nobody knew what it was.

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.
