I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.

Basically, my work is play. It never actually feels that way - I'm always aiming to attain that state. But I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.

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.

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

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

I still found literary criticism to be a suspect activity

Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
