I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls. There was just this sense that all these young women knew there were openings here to be the first of their kind.

It's TV shows like 'Buffy' and 'Angel' that usually have an incredible cliffhanger every commercial break that amaze me.

I grew up with a sister I was very close with and a mom who was a powerful influence on my life. I was always close with women.

Well, I always talk about how I used to work at an insane asylum and stuff, which is true, but to be honest, I just make crap up more than anything else.

We're always looking roughly 30 years behind us. In the '80s they were obsessed with the '50s and so on.

As you get older you start to see these events and leaders, and movements of the pendulum swinging back.

Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.
