Jeff Lemire Quotes

I can't really write anything without knowing the ending. I don't know how people do that. Even with my superhero stuff, I have to know at least where I want to take the characters and what the ending of my story with them will be. I just can't structure stories or character arcs and stuff without knowing the endpoint.

• The children are our future. And that is why, ultimately, we're screwed unless we do something about it.
