But I Read Comic Books. I Read

I Get To Do For A Living What I Did As A Child For Fun, And That's Pretty Cool.

I Do Sometimes Miss Doing That Lighter, More Humorous Work, And I Find There's A Heavier Responsibility That Goes Along With A Literary Reputation. You Have To Start Knowing What You're Talking About And You Have To Go Have Public Conversations With Writers. That's Been Pretty Intense; I Have To Really Stay On Top Of Things In A Way I Didn't Before.

I Could Not Do What I Do If I Were Not Obsessive Compulsive To A Certain Extent. I Don't Act Clinically Ocd. I'm Not Going To Check Things So Many Times I Have To Take Drugs For It. But The Kind Of Complicated And Painstaking Work I Have To Do To Make My Drawings, It Just Kind Of Harnesses That Compulsive Energy In A Constructive Way.

Autobiographical Comics, I Love Them. I Love Them.

Partly I Resented Being Perceived As Weak Because I Was A Girl.
