"I like bubbles in everything. I respect the power of silence. In cold or warm weather I favor a mug of hot cocoa. I admire cats-their autonomy, grace, and mystery.

I invent rules, words, adventures, and imaginary friends. I pretend something wonderful every day. I will never quit pretending."

Nothing, Will

"Yeah, Hitman I suppose is most of the time a lighter read than Preacher; it was always going to be."

Time,

"Preacher is a book that somehow allows me time by its settling on it's characters, that sort of modern gothic western feel. You're not likely to see the boat veering too far from that."
