Those early sketches looked too cartoony; I really wanted to do detailed drawings - I was taking anatomy classes - but unfortunately I wasn't able to do it because of the time element.
Socialism is undoubtedly in the throes of a crisis greater than at any time since 1917. The last half of 1989 saw the dramatic collapse of most of the communist party governments of Eastern Europe.
I only saw my father twice a year. If I'd seen him all the time I'd probably have murdered him by now. He was very strict.
Here is my theory on this one. If you write things down, if there is a mystery and you try and explain it, once you've written it down for permanent, in due time, it'll be proven stupid.
I didn't want to go on the DL. I want to keep pitching and competing. They decided it's better for me to take some time off and that's what we're going to do.
That no-hitter stuff was a long time ago; I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just going through a tough time.
Freaky things happen all the time in the world. I suppose everything has to happen for the first time at some point.
As the planet warms, evolution speeds. We've known this for a long time.

It's horrible to get a cameraphone shoved in your face every time you walk out the door.
