I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.

And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.

I’m glad mainstream culture is starting to catch up to where lesbian-feminism was 30 years ago.

You can't live and write at the same time.

Yeah, I read Judy Blume. My mother didn't like that, but I read it anyhow.

I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.

The secret subversive goal of my work is to show that women, not just lesbians, are regular human beings.
