Alan Moore on being normal

“I don’t pay much attention to what people say about me. I mean, not being on the Internet, I don’t have much idea how I’m seen. I refuse to be a celebrity. Neither am I some superhuman being of limitless potential or extraordinary intellect. I am somebody from a very humble background who never had an education or any real intellectual stimulation.

I’d like to say that people don’t realize how normal I am, but I can’t say that with a straight face, can I? (long wheezing laughter) I think me and Mr. Normal parted company a considerable distance back.”
