I love anybody funny. I think my ten-year-old sister is really funny. She makes me laugh way more than most people do.

I didn't really have a major role in how it was described. I wanted it to be a collection of essays where each storyline could be contained.

I think funniness is a sign of intelligence.

I like being around funny people.

I do think that people yearn for connection and intimacy, and that they're hard things to achieve.

I don't do the like, "This led to this, and this was why this happened." That doesn't feel real and isn't how I experience things.

That was an instance where I was given a word to define my confusing experience, and I'm just like, "nah."

I think I've been able to express some of the more complicated feelings I had.

I wanted each different Chelsea to be able to navigate her own world without having to also speak to a larger narrative.

I want to draw subjects that seem very boring and everyday... Stuff that would be normal except for one thing. Or two things. Or stuff that's undeniably weird.

I think it's really important to have a sense of humor.

Sometimes hate is silence, some stuff are made in such way that they are in front of your eyes.

Happiness ... consists in giving and in serving others.

Allah created my tongue to speak. I don't have freedom to come , because Allah created my feet to walk. So I walk, and I speak, and I look, and I hear according to what God says.

Don't say Aretha is making a comeback, because I've never been away!

I didn't know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time.

Revolution is something that actually starts in individual hearts.

Faith is a strong word in my life. That's one thing my mother has always stressed to me.

Political system is contrary to everything a feminine heart stands for. It lacks tenderness. It lacks poetry. It doesn't nurture. It doesn't love. And without those things, a woman's soul is bereft.

Whatever you focus on, expands. If you see the world through your dreams, prosperity materializes before your very eyes. If you see the world through your fears, poverty multiplies all around you.
