"It would have shown people that I was prepared to do that kind of work, although I find myself in a position now where I don't really need to and I could pick and choose the kind of characters I'd like to do"

In this quote, Garth Ennis is reviewing his past options as a writer and how they have actually led him to his present position. He believes that if he had actually handled specific types of work previously in his profession, it would have shown his willingness and ability to take on any type of writing. However, he now discovers himself in a position where he has developed himself and has the high-end of being selective with the characters he selects to discuss. This shows his development and success as a writer, in addition to his confidence in his capabilities to choose the tasks that really interest and challenge him.
