My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.

The darkness is really out there. It's not something that's in my head, just. It's in my work because it's in the world.
Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized.
Reading and writing are connected. I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw.
Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It's a question of how those tools are used by people.
Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.

If I pick up a book with spaceships on the cover, I want spaceships. If I see one with dragons, I want there to be dragons inside the book. Proper labeling. Ethical labeling. I don't want to open up my cornflakes and find that they're full of pebbles... You need to respect the reader enough not to call it something it isn't.
