All the sudden, I was part of the 'No Man's Land' thing, and there was a bundle of core writers for that, but somewhere along the line, I became the go-to guy after that initial arc.

The worst thing that can happen for a writer is for a writer to start believing their own press. I think the industry, and the comics industry in particular, is littered with the bodies of writers who believed their own press. And you can see the moment they did, and then the work nosedives.

Somewhere along the line, something turned nasty, and I don't know what it was.

Somewhere along the line I decided that if I had something or did something that maybe it wasn't so great after all. I don't believe that anymore, but I realized today that in some areas I still act as though I do. I won't anymore. Smile. Sigh. Smile.

Somewhere along the line you have to trust someone. You've just got to be clever enough to pick someone that's smart and wholesome and worthy - and then just listen to what they say.

We just got into a shooting match with them. Somewhere along the line, we have to realize we can't take anybody lightly.
