I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.

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

If it weren't for the unconventionality of my desires, my mind might never have been forced to reckon with my body.

I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to comics history.

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

It certainly was an important moment for me, that realization that I was not going to get what I wanted. It was very freeing. I keep using that word "freeing" or "liberating." I feel like Houdini sometimes, like I'm just getting out of one set of shackles after another, hanging upside down inside a burlap bag with handcuffs on. Hopefully one day, I'm going to get out of this tank of water.

If there was ever a bigger pansy than my father, it was Marcel Proust.
