I'm not that good of a drawer. I don't know how people just draw stuff out of their head. I'm always creating schemes. If I have to draw someone sitting in a chair, I have to go find a chair, sit in it, and take a picture of myself sitting in it.

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

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

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

Drawing is more fun to me than writing. I think it's interesting to talk to different cartoonists about how those activities work for them. I'm a very writerly cartoonist. I certainly spend more time on the writing than I do on the drawing, even though the drawing, of course, is very time-consuming.

It was a vicious cycle, though. The more gratification we found in our own geniuses, the more isolated we grew.
