More quotes by Alison Bechdel
Autobiographical comics, I love them. I love them.
Alison Bechdel
I'll watch a movie only if it meets the following criteria: 1. It has to have at least two women in it. 2. Who talk to each other. 3. About something besides a man.
Alison Bechdel
I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.
Alison Bechdel
My father once nearly came to blows with a female dinner guest about whether a particular patch of embroidery was fuchsia or magenta. But the infinite gradations of color in a fine sunset - from salmon to canary to midnight blue - left him wordless.
Alison Bechdel
She has given me a way out.
Alison Bechdel
Self-published media are really critical. It's so heartwarming that people are still doing it in this digital age. It's just really moving and exciting. You can't really replace a beautiful little mini-comic. It doesn't translate to the computer, you know? Handmade stuff has really given me hope for humanity.
Alison Bechdel
The writing is hard, and the drawing is fun. It's very satisfying to see a drawing start to come together.
Alison Bechdel
The secret subversive goal of my work is to show that women, not just lesbians, are regular human beings.
Alison Bechdel
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
I grew to resent the way my father treated his furniture like children, and his children like furniture.
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
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.
Alison Bechdel
Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
Alison Bechdel
Yeah, I read Judy Blume. My mother didn't like that, but I read it anyhow.
Alison Bechdel
I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.
Alison Bechdel
But I read comic books. I read things like Richie Rich and Little Lulu.
Alison Bechdel
It was not a triumphal return. Home, as I had known it, was gone.
Alison Bechdel
I could not do what I do if I were not obsessive compulsive to a certain extent. I don't act clinically OCD. I'm not going to check things so many times I have to take drugs for it. But the kind of complicated and painstaking work I have to do to make my drawings, it just kind of harnesses that compulsive energy in a constructive way.

Grief takes many forms, including the absence of grief
Alison Bechdel
Partly I resented being perceived as weak because I was a girl.
