4
Kerry Bishe
I did a lot of theater, so especially as an on-camera camera actor, there are so many things that aren't in your toolbox. They're somebody else's job. You think about editors and rhythm. Volume isn't even in your control.
5
Nadia Bjorlin
My father's music has always inspired me in many ways... especially to be better at what I do.
6
Jeffrey Brown
Generally, I don't pencil, especially with the autobiographical comics, although I've usually planed out composition in my head during the scripting stage. I like to work directly in ink, to keep the spontaneity and expression conveyed by a less worked over line.
7
Orson Scott Card

8
Patrick Carney

9
Jimmy Carter
It is difficult for the common good to prevail against the intense concentration of those who have a special interest, especially if the decisions are made behind locked doors.
10
