I think there's nothing wrong with being fixated on superheroes when you are 7 years old, but I think there's a disease in not growing up.

When I think about growing up, I feel most affected by two travels that I made working in cargo boats when I was 16 and 18. One of them crossed through the Mississippi and Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama, and another went all the way to Europe.

I think I may have to grow up without growing old. I think we're going to have to define differently what I'm going to be. We're going to have to define my growing up differently.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

The trick is growing up without growing old.

In my work I think what drives me is perfection. I'm a chronically unsatisfied guy.
