More quotes by 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.

The web is my unconscious but it's also a wish -- a fantasy of what my own creativity might look like if I weren't constantly impeding its flow.
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 just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.
Alison Bechdel
The secret subversive goal of my work is to show that women, not just lesbians, are regular human beings.
Alison Bechdel
I grew to resent the way my father treated his furniture like children, and his children like furniture.
Alison Bechdel
I love Jules Feiffer. I didn't discover him until I was a little older.
Alison Bechdel
It's imprecise and insufficient, defining the homosexual as a person whose gender expression is at odds with his or her sex.
Alison Bechdel
Even drawing gray hair at all is difficult to render in black and white.
Alison Bechdel
If it weren't for the unconventionality of my desires, my mind might never have been forced to reckon with my body.
Alison Bechdel
For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.
