Quotes from Robert Kirkman

I think Walking Dead is more of a stretch for me because I'm a light hearted superhero kind of guy.

If I'm grumpy I sure do enjoy writing The Walking Dead.

Okay, I'll move the lawn chairs. (Axel)

I'm going and I'm not going to die. I'm going to prove to you that you're not the only one who survives.

We can learn so much from them, y'know--just by watching them. They've been at it all night. They just don't stop--they're resilient. They eat until it's gone and then they're content. I almost admire them. The thing you have to realize is that they're just us--they're no different. They want what they want, they take what they want and after they get what they want--they're only content for the briefest span of time. Then they want more.

I remember when my aunt died, the thing that pissed me off the most was going to get groceries the next day and seeing all those people who didn't care... didn't understand why I was so upset when I saw her brand of cigarettes behind the counter.
