It's just really simple when we can remember."

"A comic will always be more 'personal' than a DVD or CD, both of which require electronic 'players' to decode their content.

I still find myself doing it now with some of the big-name guys - Zack Greinke, Max Scherzer and those guys that are really good. You have to pinch yourself and remember you belong here, that you're here for a reason and that they're human beings too."
