Read: “I am not Prime Minister Batman.”

Oh Look. interviews are here.

Bleeding Cool:

Old people being violent is interesting because they’ve been doing it a long time and are therefore very good at it. Age, cynicism and sneakiness will always triumph over youth, optimism and beauty.

Den of Geek:

…I didn’t know this whole thing was going to happen, because, if I did, I would have tried to move it, because I’m under NDA or instructions not to talk about pretty much everything I’m working on right now. It is the worst possible time to be doing two or three hours of phoners…

“You’ve got no idea the hell it was before the Internet.There was a time when you just couldn’t find a funny picture of a cat in the morning.” -An Evening with Warren Ellis.

You can mosey on over to You Tube and watch them all or you can wait until I post each one here. I leave it to you.

“He had more money than God and slept on a bed of golden vaginas every night.” -An Evening with Warren Ellis part 2

“…which is when Nick Fury became Dirk Anger…Dirk Anger won best new character at the Eagle Awards a couple years ago.”-An Evening with Warren Ellis part 3

On Burst Culture: “You can read Freakangels on pretty much anything that can get to the web. And for me that trumps apps and specialized readers … and the rest of it.” -An Evening with Warren Ellis part 5

Another quote on Burst Culture, “I think people come to the Internet for short bursts of things.”

“Message Boards are dead now. What started the death of Message Boards was Blogs. And Blogs have fragmented to Facebook and Twitter.” -An Evening with Warren Ellis part 6

On the spider messages: “I don’t want to sound paranoid. I don’t want to say the words, ‘I think Hunter S. Thompson is sending me messages (through his hat), but I’m starting to wonder.’” -An Evening with Warren Ellis part 7

There’s another bit where Ellis mentions about almost meeting Hunter S. Thompson: “On the one hand, the chances of me returning alive…[audience laughs]… and on the other hand, don’t meet your heroes if you can possibly help it because the odds are against it turning out well.”

I can totally see this being true which is sad because it means I can never meet Warren Ellis or Neil Gaiman (Or even Wil Wheaton to a certain degree.).

Space Bastard: “I’m sick of that..’Oh why do we need to go to space when there are so many broken things here?’ What? You can’t walk and chew gum at the same time? You’re telling me the human race can only do one thing at a time?”  -An Evening with Warren Ellis part 8

A man after our own Space Bastardy heart.

Here’s another quote that got bumped by the talk of going into space:

On comic book movies: “The brands are so divorced from comics at this point. There will be people going to the Batman film who don’t know they’re still making Batman comics.”  -An Evening with Warren Ellis part 8

New writers: “Get your work into print and then sit down with it a day later and you will see all the things you did wrong… right in front of you.”-An Evening with Warren Ellis part 9
