DARK HORSE: Are you at all surprised at how welcomed and popular Hellboy has become, or did you have confidence when you started creating that the character was someone people would connect with? MIKE MIGNOLA: I am still very surprised and did not expect this. I just wanted to draw monsters. DH: Hellboy deals with all kinds of paranormal events; have you ever experienced a paranormal phenomenon? And if so, did you use your experience as a way to help you create? MM: I've never had a paranormal experience. DH: What is it about fear that makes such an interesting plot device? MM: I don't know ... I just like to draw monsters. DH: As a writer, do you believe characters should develop based on their internal systems or based on situations and their environment? MM: Mostly, I just want to do stories about monsters.
From rlyehtaxidermist "immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us. "immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall. "immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

Rose Castorini (Olympia Dukakis) asks her, “Do you love him, Loretta?” Loretta answers, “Ma, I love him awful.” Rose, with a look on her face that’s the platonic ideal of a parent watching their child make a foolish choice while being helpless to do anything about it, replies, “Oh God. That’s too bad.”
