If there's a theme in my work, it's that I like to focus on smart people who are facing oppression and who are fighting back against it.

When you hold a graphic novel in your hands, you're holding artist blood made ink.

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.

Rejection is inevitable. Let it hit you hard for a moment, feel the hurt, and then move on.

I can't reasonably pretend to be a transparent and omniscient narrator who brings no personal perspective. That person doesn't exist.

Despite everything we know about photo manipulation, a photo is still considered an objective document.

Neutrality and boredom are the weapons of the state.

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.

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

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

A devout Christian, desire Jesus Christ.

Unlimited power corrupts the possessor.

I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.

You're only human. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damned red velvet cupcake.

I get all my good ideas sort of at one o' clock in the morning, and I tried for a while to behave like normal people.

To be honest, I find most politicians very untrustworthy. When I listen to them talking - or rather, lying - I just feel there are very few politicians with integrity, so I never know who to bat for.
