But if there must be an end, let it be loud. Let it be bloody. Better to burn than to wither away in the dark. Mike Mignola More Quotes by Mike Mignola More Quotes From Mike Mignola The more I see of the movie business, the less I understand about it. I have no idea what goes on with that stuff. Mike Mignola moreunderstandseebusiness I've just always liked monsters, since I was a little kid. It was always the thing I found interesting. It's always what I wanted to draw; it's always what I wanted to read, and so, yeah, I don't know. It's a good question for a therapist, why I like monsters. But I tend to not question it. It's what pays the bills, so that's kind of nice.

Mike Mignola humorpersonalitywaythinking My struggle over the years has constantly been, it only takes 10 minutes, or an average shower, to come up with a mini-series or two, but it takes a year to draw them. So for me, it's been just trying to find a way to get all these ideas and all these incidents on paper. Mike Mignola mestrugglewayideas The idea of a Frankenstein-like creature is something I've done several times. It's such an icon of the horror scene. Mike Mignola somethinghorrorscenedone There's a ton of stuff in mythology and folklore that is loaded with wonderful creatures that I haven't drawn yet, but that's kind of my retirement plan. Theoretically, I won't be doing comics any longer, and I'll just be drawing and painting whatever the hell I want. Most of that will be monsters. Mike Mignola doingpaintinghelldrawing
