I'm tired of trying to get other people to see into my brain. I'm done.
A lot was happening, plus there were an enormous number of people in the industry that were going to conventions, so it was a pretty fun time. Also there was a lot of controversy and I was at the forefront of some of that.
Image has to be its own fortress, in spite of the owners. People can't separate that or they don't comprehend that you can turn that on and off for each one of the different entities.
To me, I was always just standing on the sidelines because up until issue 50, we were just doing Spawn. I wasn't recruiting anybody because I didn't have any books for people to work on.
Anthology shows as a whole scare people. The networks can't quite get their heads around it.
I guess we're all just wired different. I just got to the point where I got tired of people telling me what I can and can't do in my life.
