Drawing is more fun to me than writing. I think it's interesting to talk to different cartoonists about how those activities work for them. I'm a very writerly cartoonist. I certainly spend more time on the writing than I do on the drawing, even though the drawing, of course, is very time-consuming.
Alison Bechdel
At first I was glad for the help. My freshmen English class, Mythology and Archetypal Experience, confounded me. I didn't understand why we couldn't just read books without forcing contorted interpretations on then
Alison Bechdel
I don't know how anyone gets anything done in New York City. I vastly prefer living in the country. I just need a lot of quiet and solitude, and I'm so easily distracted. I mean, the Internet is enough to deal with.
Alison Bechdel
I’m glad mainstream culture is starting to catch up to where lesbian-feminism was 30 years ago.
Alison Bechdel
Nancy Drew was always changing her outfits. I despised girls' clothing, I couldn't wait to get home from school and get out of it. The last thing I wanted to read was minute descriptions of Nancy's frocks.
