When I say 'art healed me,' it really healed me!

I learned how not to be alone in the playground.

Yes, doing a work, telling a story very much represents a way to save my own life, and on so many levels.

I have a profound interest in embroidery, as I have female ancestors on both sides who embroidered their way through great trials.

My mother was very, very beautiful, and I saw that the beautiful women around me were often constrained not only by their beauty but by the way that being an object of male desire frequently caused violence in their lives. And it caused them to be constrained in these terribly sad ways - their brilliance was not valued.

I kept notebooks as a kid, and they were important to me.

Monsters are a departure from 'reality' in a way that allows for a range of fantastic possibilities. I mean this within the world of literature as well as in regards to art. When I sit down to draw, I'm energized by the possibility of creating a monster. That is where I find beauty and pathos.

I get afraid of the dark if I'm in a great deal of dark, and I have to move around inside of that fear... But there is a chance that something... will talk to me from the dark, so I have... to be prepared for that communication, which has happened.

I was illustrating, and I was cleaning people's houses; I was doing whatever I could to take care of my kid as a single parent.
