I'd been upstaged, demoted from protagonist in my own drama to comic relief in my parents' tragedy

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

I could not do what I do if I were not obsessive compulsive to a certain extent. I don't act clinically OCD. I'm not going to check things so many times I have to take drugs for it. But the kind of complicated and painstaking work I have to do to make my drawings, it just kind of harnesses that compulsive energy in a constructive way.

I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.

It's our very capacity for self-consciousness that makes us self-destructive!

At first I was glad for the help. My freshmen English class, "Mythology and Archetypal Experience," confounded me. I didn't understand why we couldn't just read books without forcing contorted interpretations on then

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