“Doing a story about my mundane, waking life, how much I don't like my job, or br…” — Jim Woodring

Everything I do tries to do the same thing, which is to express things that are hard to express, hidden things.

I guess if I had to put it into a single phrase, the moral of the Frank stories is that the hammer never really falls.

I'm not a freak. I'm not really crazy or anything. I don't think I'm really abnormal. It's just, like anybody else, I have interests I cultivate, and one of my interests is not getting too used to things. I've sacrificed a lot of things in my life in order to keep that sense of things being unfamiliar.

When I was a kid, I used to see apparitions and have hallucinations, and my entire perception of the world was badly disoriented. And I had kind of a chaotic childhood because of that. I've really hung onto it, though. Because I actually like those feelings.
