My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage and my courage and skill to him that can get it.
While President Bush likes to project an image of strength and courage the real truth is that in the presence of his large financial contributors he is a moral coward.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing.
I work with really cool people and so far I haven't been approached in any embarrassing manner when it comes to image.
You know you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool - 'Saturday Night Fever ' Brian De Palma handsome young god... he in reality is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He'll walk around the set talking in little weird voices making people laugh.
I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn't do anything. I mean he's blind. It wasn't that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I'd always wanted to do a crime comic.
I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries to explore. My life experience came from watching movies TV and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool places that seem interesting people who have jobs and careers and opportunities.
It's the same with visual arts you have some really cool wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more.

We're always bombarded with images from magazines of what looks cool and sexy.
People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
Walt put everything he knew about communication with images into the park so it was very familiar.
It's like there are all these languages available especially in terms of image. Why confine yourself to only English? There's all these languages and possibilities and concepts to speak or communicate with.
If we are to change our world view images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people he's really needed.
