The appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.

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.

Just go out there and get your heart broken in, so it'll be ready when you really need it.

These are the young women [in Stand by Me] that we grew up knowing and hopefully they feel a little rough around the edges, because it's true to life.

Violence is stupid. Even as a last resort, it only ever begets more of the same.

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

All writing is the same: It's just making up lies until it starts to sound like the truth. That's what I do.
