The Bible was not written for entertainment purposes, so it's a real hodgepodge and a compendium of all kinds of stuff.
Robert Crumb
In my midteens I went through a brief stage of religious fanaticism, but it was very much about just saying prayers and stuff like that, reciting rosaries and spending a lot of time on that kind of Catholic ritual.
Robert Crumb
I use the old Strathmore vellum surface paper, which is the best paper you can get in the Western world for ink line drawing. It has a good, hard surface.

I'm into old-time music; I'm not very interested in modern, popular music at all. And if I'm really into some particular old-time musician, some fiddler or banjo player, I'm always dying of curiosity to see what they look like. So there's some connection between visual images and music.
Robert Crumb
I do covers for CDs and LPs of music that I like, reissues of old-time music, and then I'm inspired to make some kind of drawing based on this love of the music. I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.

Some things I won't do for any amount of money. Like for instance, there's a couple of CEOs of very large corporations that offered me lots of money to do special pictures for them. And I just refused to do that. Even if it was a million dollars I wouldn't do it.
Robert Crumb
Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don't want that.
Robert Crumb

Robert Crumb
There's many heroic underappreciated investigative journalists.
Robert Crumb
You don't have to be a Fundamentalist Christian to be interested in the Bible. It's really a fascinating mythology.
Robert Crumb
Pictures have a lot more power than text. Text is just a bunch of little symbols. You have to actually read it and imagine it, and even that can be censored. With pictures, it's a lot more immediate.
Robert Crumb
I'm just a negative person, a deeply negative person. I see the worst aspects of everything.
Robert Crumb
Yeah, I was a child of American popular culture.
Robert Crumb
Throwaway pens are no good - I never liked them. I've tried them all.
Robert Crumb
We were always drawing comics as kids. My brother Charles made me draw comics. I was very much under his domination. He was actually a much stronger artistic visionary than I was.
Robert Crumb
If you're trying to work the art game, if you're like Andy Warhol or something, then you're in with cake-eaters of society. You want to get in with them and please them and get their money.
Robert Crumb
I always had a sketchbook with me when I was young. I was hiding behind it, basically, hiding behind drawing because I couldn't cope with people in real life; I was very shy and very nervous around people.
Robert Crumb
People still make me nervous, but gradually over the years I've developed kind of like a public personality, so I can talk. I have my spiel, I have my stories.
Robert Crumb
The comics are where all the crazy subconscious stuff comes out.
Robert Crumb
I oughta be rich. But, you know, if you don't spend all your time looking after money, somebody else will. The guys who look after money, they're the ones who get the money.
