“The sexuality of creativity – on that level, human interaction becomes less of an oppressive pyramid and more of a dance, an orgy, something that you can imagine being a bit of fun. It seems to work naturally, except when order is imposed upon it, from above, and then everything starts getting a bit screwed up. The information, the energy, starts to get messed up.”

— Alan Moore

I would advise anybody-a kid-instead of doing pictures, get experience! Do theater! Get theater in his blood!”
