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.

I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.

Reef aquariums are definitely the pinnacle of the hobby.

There's just something about that late '80s that suddenly feels like it has something to teach us.

I sort of jumped out of movies and into the lifeboat of comics. I loved it right away. It was the opposite of film school. Whatever was in my imagination could end up in the finished product. There were just no limitations.

In film, you have the luxury of accomplishing what you need in 24 frames every second. Comics, you only have five or six panels a page to do that.

I realized that for fantasy and science fiction, especially from my youth, white was the default. Luke Skywalker was in the lead, or even if you were a hobbit, you're going to be white. That was an extremely old-fashioned, obviously really narrow-minded way to look at things.
