I don't start a story until I know where it's going to end.

I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls. There was just this sense that all these young women knew there were openings here to be the first of their kind.

We're always looking roughly 30 years behind us. In the '80s they were obsessed with the '50s and so on.

Comics brought me to the dance. It'll always be my first loyalty.

It was interesting looking back at the '80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time - the cliché of history repeating itself.

It's just people who grew up in that time are suddenly old enough to be creators themselves, but I think they have a little perspective. I'm 40 now, and I have children of my own. Before I forget my own childhood completely, I want to take some time to take a look at the '80s and think back.

There's just something about that late '80s that suddenly feels like it has something to teach us.

After ten years of toiling away in Hollywood, I realized that there's no better place for new ideas than comics.

Happy endings are bullshit. There are only happy pauses.

There are a lot of differing opinions on that. Some people think you should change out more, but I think changing just 20 percent is less stressful on the aquarium and fish. Once you get used to the regimen, it's pretty easy.

Immigration confuses and terrifies me, so why not try to write a comic and make some sense of it?

Okay, is anyone else worried that some of the fruit didn't fall far enough away from the tree?

I've been fortunate enough to travel to comic conventions in Portugal, France, Canada, and it's an honor to get to meet people from all over the world.

I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

I've written about teenage heroes before, on Marvel's Runaways, and I remember at the time when I pitched it, it was a team that had more female members than males. Even that caused of much discussion about, Will there be a market for this, and should there at least be equal number of male and females?

Because it's in and about New York City, I knew 'Ex Machina' was going to have to continually mix the mundane and the fantastic.

Each collected edition of Paper Girls that we put out will largely be set in an entirely different era.

Once upon a time, each of us was somebody's kid. Everyone had a father, even if he never provided anything more than his seed. Everyone had a mother, even if she had to leave us on a stranger's doorstep. No matter how we're eventually raised, all of our stories begin the exact same way. They all end the same, too.
