It's intense. But it's so different from anything else. I didn't grow up a comic book nerd [and] only recently have been exposed to all of this. [I've] been very accepted in a very loving and welcoming way. I'm so flattering and I'll tell you why I respect this subculture. It's a group of people who like what they like because they like it. It's [nobody] striving to follow the mainstream or commercialize something or do it because others are doing it. No one cares. It's frantic pushing to get what you want. There's a sense of originality that's just inspiring. I just love it. How can you not respect that? I don't care if you love dinosaur comic books. Whatever entity you're into, if it makes you happy, then that's what people should strive for.
