The main difference between illustration and comics is that comics are much, much more work. Every comics page is the equivalent of six to nine illustrations.

More quotes by Molly Crabapple
Innocence is always the state of being untouched. Sometimes it's synonymous with virginity, so sometimes it's quite literal, but sometimes it's more of a mental state of being untouched, of not having seen a lot of the world.
Molly Crabapple
I came in as an established artist. People were hiring me for what I did and for who I was. I think that has given me a vast amount of leeway I feel so lucky that I came in that way.

You can't use a drawing to prove a war crime. A drawing doesn't have that notion that it's proof of a reality. Because of that, you can do all sorts of interesting things in it.

Mainstream feminism might remember that the war on women always starts with the war on whores.
Molly Crabapple
I can't reasonably pretend to be a transparent and omniscient narrator who brings no personal perspective. That person doesn't exist.

Maybe you shouldn't be working as a jailer in Guantánamo. Maybe that's why you feel spiritually unhealthy.

When virtue was spoken of in the classical sense, for men, it always meant bravery or protecting others or being an adventurer and going out into the world - whereas a woman's virtue meant keeping her legs closed.

I absorbed the lie that any smart woman would use birth control and be responsible for her body. Obviously that's not true.

One thing about Guantánamo, beyond anything else, is the commitment against all odds to allow Americans to view themselves as the good guy, no matter what the situation is.

New York makes me swoony and in love. The New York of the 1880s was a place where black eye fixers did a brisk business and people were routinely killed for their shoes. But, the constant aspiration of the city never changes.

Rohini Mohan read. While she did, I sketched her. She writes with such beauty and violence, and it seemed like the best way to listen was to really watch her, in the way that only drawing someone lets me do.

A lot of things sound neutral, but they're not. A typical example would involve police violence. It's usually forbidden to call police murderers, even if they're convicted of murder. People will say that it sounds hysterical and unobjective.

I've just found the stories of the people I'm talking to much more interesting than my reactions to them.

Different types of sex work are differently supportive. If I were working in a strip club, I would be competing with my colleagues, and while there would be support, there would be financial motivation not to offer too much support.
Molly Crabapple
When I started my own business, I funded it as a naked model. I still think that the sex industry can, for some men and women, be a powerful tool for improving their financial prospects.

You start like a white blanket and you have to preserve that, and each year that you live chips away at your essential value.
