She has given me a way out.

I started to get bored with that stuff about only drawing men and I've taken it out of the slideshow.

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

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.

I don't know how anyone gets anything done in New York City. I vastly prefer living in the country. I just need a lot of quiet and solitude, and I'm so easily distracted. I mean, the Internet is enough to deal with.

I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal 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.
