"Carlos and I were friends first, and then we started collaborating. Our way of working was to meet in a bar and discuss what we were going to do. The scripts were always a joint effort. I don’t have manuscripts of his scripts […]. Everything was talked about, jotted down on paper napkins, a conversation of what was going to happen on each page."

"I’d wanted to make a western for a long time, but because of my obvious artistic connection to Jean Giraud, it was difficult to make a western after him. That held me back. At 40, I was starting to gain experience and I told myself I had to go for it. And then we’d see how it went."

"I have a fondness for the little things that make up everyday life. I don’t really know how I do it. I observe things meticulously and reproduce the details, the insignificant aspects that people don’t notice. I suppose it’s primarily this attention to detail that makes the story feel even more real."

"Looking at his work you are immediately drawn to his characters. Posture, gait, the tilt of a head, and direction of the eyes, conveying so much beneath the surface – even when expressionless. His lines are deliberate, usually clean and uncluttered yet with enough detail to give the impression of realism."

"In response to my complaints about my own inadequacy, my old drawing teacher once told me: 'The day you are completely satisfied with your work will mean you have reached the maximum you are capable of, and you will no longer improve.' With that revealing phrase, he sentenced me to eternal torment, and also to a love for what I do: drawing."
