"With each of those projects I wasn't thinking about how the layout would really affect the story I was working on - it wasn't the content that was affecting the layout, it was, how I wanted to draw at that point in time."

Time

"You kind of hope that the events themselves are interesting. I think that's what you have to hope for, that on a broad level it's an interesting story."
