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

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

A comic script is basically a love letter from you to your artist.

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

I think some people are just very passionate that things remain the way they were when they were kids.

I've written about teenage heroes before, on Marvel's Runaways, and I remember at the time when I pitched it, it was a team that had more female members than males. Even that caused of much discussion about, "Will there be a market for this, and should there at least be equal number of male and females?"

To try and imagine that I'm another person is always going to be hard - whether I'm writing about a truck driver or someone who is gay, who's trans, who is of a different ethnicity or creed. But it would be boring if I always had to write about myself and my limited viewpoint.
