After that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators.

And I've never viewed comics as assignments for the client.
Bill Sienkiewicz

And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It's an avenue to say what you want to say.
Bill Sienkiewicz

But I'm aware of the fact that I'm working in a commercial venue where I'm producing something that I wouldn't normally be approaching the way I'm doing it.
Bill Sienkiewicz

But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will.
Bill Sienkiewicz

But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression.
Bill Sienkiewicz

But with comics you're reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube.
Bill Sienkiewicz

Cartooning is an honorable thing.
Bill Sienkiewicz

Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects.
Bill Sienkiewicz

Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it's still about respecting the story.
Bill Sienkiewicz


Especially with Elektra, because I'm doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra.
Bill Sienkiewicz

For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I didn't want to feel constrained, so I took on the Mutants.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I still love a lot of the guys who just paint.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I was lucky enough to be given books that weren't top sellers; books that were kind of under the radar.
Bill Sienkiewicz

If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special.
Bill Sienkiewicz

If you're going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it.
