问题：当你开始外出时，你是否仍然是漫画书的动力和激动？
"Well sometimes, I mean obviously what starts as a bit of a laugh when you're younger or you're doing what you feel is your life’s mission or your calling or the thing that really excites you, it does mutate into a job. And you do have to occasionally do things that you don’t enjoy quite so much. Although I have been very fortunate, I haven’t had to do a lot of that.
"Certainly, in recent years, having attained a reasonable reputation and some success, I tend to only work on the things that I want to work on. Other problems come along; if you’ve had success, you are expected to be and you expect yourself to continue to be successful.
我仍然认为漫画书是真正令人兴奋的媒介
“但我仍然发现漫画令人兴奋，我仍然去当地的漫画书店，对某些系列感到非常兴奋。我遵循互联网上的漫画新闻等等。我也喜欢参加约定，主要是迎接读者并获得某种考虑的反馈。您显然在互联网上获得反馈，但通常有点反应，通常夸大。但是，我仍然认为漫画书是一个非常令人兴奋的媒介。“
问题：你见过任何漫画的漫画书（好的还是坏的）？
“好吧，我倾向于追随我朋友的工作。我喜欢任何东西标米尔玛尔写道，任何说法Mike Mignola.那弗兰克米勒或者JoséLuisGarcíaLópez绘制。我也喜欢什么埃德布鲁克和肖恩菲利普斯做，胖胖和律，这样的东西。
“超级英雄并不像他们习惯的那样漂浮我的船，但有一些美妙的艺术家，伟大的作家。谈到伟大的作家，显然是什么艾伦摩尔写我会买的。
我认为媒体随着时间的发展而来，它很令人兴奋
“我认为你现在在漫画中获得的工作标准远远高于我开始的时候。它正在解决一个不同的受众，它曾经是每周或每月令人兴奋的年轻男孩悬崖挂娱乐。但现在显然应该是什么，这是一个成熟的媒介，讲述了所有长度和类型对各种人的故事。所以我认为它正在令人兴奋的是，它正在随时进化。“
问题：你最喜欢的项目是什么？为什么？
“我认为守望者在我的传奇中一直占据重要地位。这是一件令人兴奋的事情——为如此伟大的剧本工作，并做一些如此受欢迎、广泛阅读和具有影响力的事情。这为我从小就喜欢的媒体增加了一些东西。这肯定是我的最爱。
“我还做过其他一些事情，有些众所周知，有些几乎不为人知。根据与我合作的故事和作者，我喜欢在不同的时间点上为《神秘博士》工作。我也喜欢我在公元2000年做的一些未来的小冲击。
守望者总是很遗憾我的传奇
“虽然这很辛苦，但我很高兴我设法做了自己的图形小说原件，这是由我编写和绘制的，花了大约18个月的时间。虽然这很孤单。我对漫画所爱的事情之一是合作，这部小说只是我坐在一个房间里，让我告诉你，不是一个非常漂亮的房间。这是一个廉价的办公室，我租用了一个停止差距，还有一个天窗，但甚至没有窗户看。但是，尽管如此，我真的很高兴能够做到这一点，这正是我想做的方式。“
问:你是如何形成自己的风格的?这些年来你的风格有什么变化?
“我们总是祈求我们的影响，有时希望我们能够摆脱。但我们就是我们所处的。我想你建立你所学中的东西，开始做更多你喜欢的事情，更少的事情喜欢。
“我可以看看我30岁的矿山的图纸，仍然看到他们今天在工作中的同样的事情。我有时候回顾我所做的工作，我很惊讶我这样做了，因为我没有回忆，但实际上可以享受它。
我们总是祈祷Toour的影响，有时希望将他们摇动
"It’s a strange thing that happens, just to digress, when you do look at a piece of work - and I don’t know if your readers find this - but before you start work you think it's going to be the best piece of work you've ever done. And you start work on it and, of course, it is work and it’s a little bit hard sometimes and it doesn’t turn out quite the way you want and you struggle with it as the deadline is rushing upon you. So you finish it and as you put the pages in the parcel to send them off or you scan them in and email them, you think it's the worst thing you've ever done and wish you'd spent more time on it. But then a couple of years down the line you pull that comic book out of a drawer and you flip through it and think it's actually quite good!
"And, of course, the reason that this process happens, I’ve discovered, is that you as the artist are in the unique position having seen in your head what it could’ve been. But all that anyone else sees is what it is. And probably, if you are a professional artist, what it is, is going be reasonably good. But, of course, it is never going to be as good as the dream, mythic version of it that the artist saw before they started.
你作为艺术家的艺术家是在你头脑中看到的独特立场
"So, I’m always aware of that with my work and I sometimes look back on things that I didn’t particularly like at the time and think it's not as bad as I thought at the time. But I think really my favourite things are the things that I enjoyed drawing the most, where I was at the time of life where I could give it what it needed and I had the skill necessary but didn’t have the pressure to inhibit me."
问题：Marvel，2000年广告和DC等出版商是否允许艺术家有很多创造性自由？
"One of the great joys of working in comics is that you do get a lot of creative freedom. I’m working on a piece of merchandising art for a company at the moment that I am getting pretty well paid for. But it's all about revisions and input from the client and all that sort of thing, which is fine and I suppose that’s why you get the big bucks.
"But I actually like just drawing comics and more or less everything that I’ve drawn for the past 40 years has appeared in print and has hardly been changed at all. On very, very few occasions have I had work back to change it or has it been changed in house.
出版商是出众，真的
"And that’s one of the things that I think is wonderful about comics - the supply chain from the mind of the creator to the mind of the reader or the audience is so short and uncompromising and on a very personal level. Most publishers are the same, there’s no great difference between DC, Marvel, 2000AD. You may feel a little more comfortable at some of them than others because of personalities or if you do a lot of work for them you become one of the family. But publishers are publishers, really."
