Frank is such a great visual storyteller, that if you study his artwork you see that his Sin City books are already the best movies never seen on the big screen.

Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.

Books and opinions, no matter from whom they came, if they are in opposition to human rights, are nothing but dead letters.

Wherever you look there are inspirations, books, literature, paintings, landscapes, everything. Just living is an inspiration.

I prefer the honest jargon of reality to the outright lies of books.

The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn't write them again, and wouldn't want to.

I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.

At present, however, I don't think the Net is a very good medium for books, books should really be inexpensive lightweight paperbacks you can bang around.

I want to warn potential victims. Many of them are women, and many of them are battered women. It's a cause for me. When I look back, though, so many of the books I've written are about wives who just couldn't get away.

Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time.

It's no secret that in my books I'm trying to make the comic and the serious rub up against each other just as closely and uncomfortably as I can.

My books are elegiac in the sense that they're odes to a nation that even I sometimes think may not exist anymore except in my memory and my imagination.

A lot of my characters in all of my books have a self-destructive urge. They'll do precisely the thing that they know is wrong, take a perverse delight in doing the wrong thing.
