Gilbert Hernandez Quotes & Sayings (Page 2)

“My two biggest influences are Archie comics and Dennis the Menace.”

“I happen to think Latinas, Latin women, are the most beautiful women in the world. So that's what I'm going to draw. I love women from all cultures, of course, but if I was going to deal with any of them, that would be No. 1 for me.”

“We thought everybody read comics. We didn't know we were weird. We didn't know people that collected comics were strange. It was as normal as listening to rock music on the radio.”

“We were very happy when a South African court, which had previously ruled against us, took another look and decided that this material was not obscene and allowed it into the country.”

“Dennis the Menace was probably the most realistic comic book ever done. No space aliens ever invaded!”

“I know what a good movie is.”

“I've sort of dealt with the characters' lives more; particularly the women characters.”

“Whichever character I'm using and wherever I am in my mind dictates what kind of story I'm going to tell.”

“For me, the reason to make the movie is that if people like the comic, then people would like the movie if it was well made. There are good movies for them, but very few. And I mean that in a true sense. If they love your story for freaking 30 years, then they can do a movie about it.”

“I grew up when comics were only sold in food markets and news stands, so the direct market is vital to me. The best way to make it stronger is if everybody buys my comics in multiple copies before they buy any others.”
