Alan Moore's first choice to be the Comedian... was Burt Reynolds. But I never saw myself as Burt Reynolds; I saw myself as Edward Blake.

Comedian sort of enjoys the darkness because, essentially, he's a thug. He's just not a nice guy.

I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.

In any character you do, especially something like 'Watchmen,' if you're gonna do this, you're gonna do this right. I'm fighting for the Comedian every step of the way; there's not even a question, Adrian is a scumbag.

Alan Moore is a prophetic writer.

I was an artist - I fancied myself an artist - I sold paintings at bars to pay my rent.
