"Whenever I looked at that drawing," Roth said, "I felt I was looking, for the first time, at reality—my reality. The world that my parents, teachers, and responsible type people all around me belonged to wasn't my world. Why did I have to be like them, live like them? I didn't. And Rat Fink helped me realize that."
I love this quote from the Big Daddy. I think everyone can relate to his feelings of escapism- when I was growing up the world was really quite boring so I'd submerge myself into my drawings and create places and people much more fantastic than the ones I had around me.
I think it's important to keep that childlike spirit in all you make, so that when someone looks at it they are completely absorbed. To me- that's when you know you've created a successful piece.
