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.

More quotes by Alison Bechdel
You can't live and write at the same time.
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
People really want to think that these things really happened. I don't know why that is important, but I know that when I finish reading a novel or something, I want to know how much of that really happened to this author.
Alison Bechdel
For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.
Alison Bechdel
I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.
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
I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.
Alison Bechdel
Yeah, I read Judy Blume. My mother didn't like that, but I read it anyhow.
Alison Bechdel
I love Jules Feiffer. I didn't discover him until I was a little older.
Alison Bechdel
Partly I resented being perceived as weak because I was a girl.
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
I wish I had a typical workday. I struggle to get up at seven and almost always fail. I just try to get to my office as soon as I can, but it's always later than I would like.
Alison Bechdel
What would happen if we spoke the truth?
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
The secret subversive goal of my work is to show that women, not just lesbians, are regular human beings.
Alison Bechdel
I probably read Harriet the Spy about 70,000 times.
Alison Bechdel
Although I am good at enumerating my father’s flaws, it’s hard for me to sustain much anger at him. I expect this is partly because he’s dead, and partly because the bar is lower for fathers than it is for mothers.
Alison Bechdel
I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.
Alison Bechdel
It was not a triumphal return. Home, as I had known it, was gone.
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
