The appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You’re only limited by your imagination.

Brian K. Vaughan

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person’s hands, and I don’t think many screenwriters can say that.

Hands Thinking Writing
What cruel creatures men are. Our bodies tell us to love so many, but there’s room in our hearts for so few.

I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls.

The longer I’ve been writing scripts, the more I find that you have to give the artist more leeway or else you’ll just be disappointed. You can’t force them to draw every image that’s in your head.

Character Issues Winning
To try and imagine that I’m another person is always going to be hard – whether I’m writing about a truck driver or someone who is gay, who’s trans, who is of a different ethnicity or creed. But it would be boring if I always had to write about myself and my limited viewpoint.

Ethnicity Gay Writing
These are the young women [in Stand by Me] that we grew up knowing and hopefully they feel a little rough around the edges, because it’s true to life.

Knowing Life Stand True
I like things that are weirdly imaginative and couldn’t be real, but I also like stories that are recognizable and relatable.

Life is mostly just learning how to lose.
