Here's your money for school." So I worked real hard during the summer and saved money and was able to go to school for a year and borrowed a little money which I paid back after that first year.

• Recuerdo que un viernes por la tarde recibí una llamada de Grant Simmons diciendo: "Mike", llegamos a ser muy buenos amigos; "Mike, el sheriff nos cierra el lunes. Si quieres venir al estudio mañana por la mañana, puedes llevarte lo que quieras". Así que en lugar de ir y llevarme a casa montones y montones de cels de Spiderman, ¿qué me llevé a casa? Dos páginas de arte original que fueron enviadas a la costa oeste. Por supuesto, si me hubiera llevado el resto de esas cosas a casa, probablemente me habría retirado mucho antes.
