If you can’t do something smart, do something right.
The comic world has its own limitations, as everything does. I adore it, I respect it, but it’s not going to take over all of me.
You either have to write or you shouldn’t be writing. That’s all.

I’d rather make a show 100 people need to see, than a show that 1000 people want to see.
I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn’t really happen in life is what I’m interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I’m really interested in is people.
Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that.

Men not only don’t get what’s important about what women are capable of, but in fact they fear it, and envy it, and want to throw stones at it, because it’s the thing they can’t have.
The stupidest person in the room might have the best idea.
Live all of your life. Understand it, see it, appreciate it. And have fun.
Identity is something that you are constantly earning.
Don’t just be yourself. Be all of your selves.
I’ll take crazy over stupid any day.
