More quotes by Alison Bechdel
She has given me a way out.
Alison Bechdel
Basically, my work is play. It never actually feels that way - I'm always aiming to attain that state. But I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.
Alison Bechdel
It was not a triumphal return. Home, as I had known it, was gone.
Alison Bechdel
For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.
Alison Bechdel

Alison Bechdel
Autobiographical comics, I love them. I love them.
Alison Bechdel
Partly I resented being perceived as weak because I was a girl.

Alison Bechdel
I try not to have anything too much going on between waking up and getting to work. I like to just be really fresh when I sit down. I always have my best ideas, like, within five minutes of starting. And then the rest of the day is just kind of putting in time.
Alison Bechdel
It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.
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
Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
Alison Bechdel
I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.
Alison Bechdel
You can't live and write at the same time.
Alison Bechdel
I love Jules Feiffer. I didn't discover him until I was a little older.
Alison Bechdel
But I read comic books. I read things like Richie Rich and Little Lulu.
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
Was Daedalus really stricken with grief when Icarus fell into the sea? Or just disappointed by the design failure
