I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.

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.

I sort of jumped out of movies and into the lifeboat of comics. I loved it right away. It was the opposite of film school. Whatever was in my imagination could end up in the finished product. There were just no limitations.

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

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

Gert: Wake me when the fight scene's over. Kitty Pryde: Oy, tell me about it. Hey, I'm Kitty. You the token pacifist of your group? Gert: Not exactly. Pacifists are like vegans, I'm more of a vegetarian. I enjoy fish and occasional maulings.

All writing is the same: It's just making up lies until it starts to sound like the truth. That's what I do.

I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.

I'm really happiest living life 22 pages at a time and putting things in little boxes on pages.

You'd never be able to convince someone to give you money to do a bilingual story where you're not translating half of it - you'd drive people crazy. But in comics, you can do whatever your heart desires.
