Quotes about:

• If you look at that incredible burst of fantastic characters that emerged in the late 19th century/early 20th century, you can see so many of the fears and hopes of those times embedded in those characters. Even in throwaway bits of contemporary culture you can often find some penetrating insights into the real world around us.

• Everything you've ever read of mine is first-draft. This is one of the peculiarities of the comics field.

• I think if you were to sever the connection between arousal and shame, you might actually come up with something liberating and socially useful.

• I'm a very smug show-off at heart. I'm altogether too pleased with myself. The big boost for me is to be able to turn out something that I think is pretty marvelous, like 'Lost Girls.' I'm not in it for money, I'm just in it for the glory.
