I have to confess I'm not a huge comics fan in the wider sense of comics as an art form.

I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.

Sometimes I pretend not to look at my own characters, because that's like different people getting off with your girlfriend or something.

I should say I am far more cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It's only a doll house after all. Anyway, I don't mind. I like dolls. Particularly the live ones.

It's so horrible to realize you're just the same as everyone else, isn't it?

It's always interesting to see what the real enthusiasts think, but they're rarely representative of the tastes of the wider audience, so I tend to write for myself, for an imagined smart 14-year-old, and for a couple of friends who are still big comics fans.
