Alan Moore Quotes
I did an interview where I was asked for the best advice I'd been given. I couldn't think of anything, so I read from the back of a packet of Swan Vestas matches by the phone: 'Keep in a dry place, keep away from children and strike gently away from the body.' They'd written it up without any sense of irony.
