I'll watch a movie only if it meets the following criteria: 1. It has to have at least two women in it. 2. Who talk to each other. 3. About something besides a man.

The writing is hard, and the drawing is fun. It's very satisfying to see a drawing start to come together.

It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.

I try not to have anything too much going on between waking up and getting to work. I like to just be really fresh when I sit down. I always have my best ideas, like, within five minutes of starting. And then the rest of the day is just kind of putting in time.

I love Jules Feiffer. I didn't discover him until I was a little older.

For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.

I do sometimes miss doing that lighter, more humorous work, and I find there's a heavier responsibility that goes along with a literary reputation. You have to start knowing what you're talking about and you have to go have public conversations with writers. That's been pretty intense; I have to really stay on top of things in a way I didn't before.
