My mom once told me that a good relationship isn’t where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.

Better Feel Good Mom Relationship
I write the book for one person – for Fiona [Staples, the artist]. I spend a lot of time just thinking how she’ll react to things and manipulating her into drawing perverse, horrific things. It’s a really weird job but I enjoy it.

Books Jobs Manipulate Thinking Writing
I’ve always thought of fantasy as a genre of best-case scenarios, and horror as a genre of worst-case scenarios.

Case Fantasy Horror Scenario Worst
I’m the one who started spreading that particular factoid, about Bendis, Azz and me all being bald Brian’s from Cleveland, just to get my name mentioned in the same sentence as two much-better writers, and it’s worked like a goddamn charm.

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

Imaginative Real Stories
I remember seeing Stand by Me, when I was around 12, and just feeling like, “This is so refreshing to see kids swear and smoke cigarettes like my friends.” It just felt much more real than the Sesame Street version of childhood that I’d been spoon-fed.

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

Comics Imagination Limited
I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.
