"When I was a kid, back in the '40s, I was a voracious comic book reader. And at that time, there was a lot of patriotism in the comics. They were called things like 'All-American Comics' or 'Star-Spangled Comics' or things like that. I decided to do a logo that was a parody of those comics, with 'American' as the first word."

"عندما كنت طفلاً، في الأربعينيات، كنت قارئاً نهماً للقصص المصورة. وفي تلك الحقبة، كانت القصص المصورة تفيض بالروح الوطنية، تحمل أسماء مثل "قصص أمريكا كلها المصورة" أو "قصص النجوم المتلألئة المصورة" وما شابه ذلك. فقررت أن أصمم شعاراً ساخراً يحاكي تلك القصص، على أن تكون كلمة "أمريكي" هي الكلمة الأولى فيه."

"Israel's creation was politically amazing and caused by a number of unusual events. And I understand. For centuries, Jews endured horrible suffering, and like other people, deserve the right to self-determination, but the way Israel is going now frightens me. Jews make awkward colonial overlords."
"لقد كان قيام إسرائيل حدثًا سياسيًا مذهلاً، أملته ظروف استثنائية عديدة. وأنا أتفهم ذلك تمامًا؛ فقد عانى اليهود لقرون طويلة من ويلات مروعة، وهم، كغيرهم من الشعوب، يستحقون حق تقرير المصير. لكن المسار الذي تسلكه إسرائيل الآن يثير قلقي بشدة. فاليهود يبدون غير ملائمين لدور السادة المستعمرين."

"You can find heroism everyday, like guys working terrible jobs because they've got to support their families. Or as far as humor, the things I see on the job, on the street, are far funnier than anything you'll ever see on TV."
