Anselm Kiefer

Life is an illusion. I am held together in the nothingness by art.

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning.

If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to individual and group differences becomes more firmly established than ever.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
