Seriously, just buy the [expletive deleted] book. I promise you'll like it. Unless you're [expletive deleted].

If you're not interested in your work, you're not doing it right.

There's a difference between feeling like I don't need to explain and deliberately confusing you. If the impression is that I'm deliberately confusing you, that is not what I am trying to do at all.

You can't write something actively trying to please everyone - you're going to end up with watery soup that way. You just have to write stories you would want to read and hope that people like them.

I wish I could say confidently that pacing remains my weak point, if you could talk about your own stuff without sounding like you're self-obsessed. But I think you kind of have to be.

I need to go where I'm not comfortable. I think that's the artist's job.

One of the things about comics is people can linger on images and words as long as they want.

I guess I am conscious of my weaknesses, and I think pacing is probably my biggest. I don't know if I think the clarity thing is actually a weakness. It was a stylistic choice.

My husband makes fun of me, because I know I can use strong prose to jazz-hand my way through plot that isn't as interesting as I'd like it to be.

I think I'm very strong at dialogue, I think I'm very strong in characterization. I think sometimes I use dialogue and character work to cover weaknesses in my plotting.

My creator owned books sell better than my mainstream books. And that makes no sense.

It's hard to pretend you're OK. Especially when you're all by urself, alone. :'(

God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.

A test of your love for God is to examine your love for others.

You aren't going to find anybody that's going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.

I remember being so young I thought all artists were famous.

Unix in particular is very poor at network printing.

Whenever I sign a garment with my name, I consider myself as the creator of the masterpiece.

Love Our Lady and make her loved; always recite the Rosary and recite it as often as possible.

They don't want you until you have made a name, and by the time you have made a name, you have developed some kind of talent they can't use. All they will do is spoil it, if you let them.

From the ship all things were taken out, so that the clothes which I took with me on my back I only had.
