I do think that people yearn for connection and intimacy, and that they're hard things to achieve.

I like being around funny people.

I want to draw subjects that seem very boring and everyday... Stuff that would be normal except for one thing. Or two things. Or stuff that's undeniably weird.

I wanted each different Chelsea to be able to navigate her own world without having to also speak to a larger narrative.

I don't do the like, "This led to this, and this was why this happened." That doesn't feel real and isn't how I experience things.

There is a lot of stuff I write that makes it seem like my intention is to make people think I'm speaking about myself entirely, and it is my intention to make people think that, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what it is.

I was re-experiencing these things that happened a long time ago, and I'm trying to relive it now, and I'm bringing all of my current motivations and personality into that which were not there at the time. It's hard to remember exactly who I was when I was ten, fifteen.
