• I have a great deal of hope. I think that change is here, it's happening. But I know that if we think it's just going to happen on its own, that's not the way it works. We need people to keep talking about women of color writing comics and living the charge. Not just talking but doing. Making art, putting it out there.

• In real life, I knew that fandom was made up of women, and women of color, and women of all ages. But on the publishing side of comics, it was a lot of white, straight men. It was often jarring to me to be the only women at a meeting or at a panel at a comic-con. Fortunately I had mentors who were not blinded by my gender and who said, "Yes, we know you can write these books." That hasn't been the case for everyone. What gives me great hope is that in the eight to nine years since I've started, I've seen tremendous growth.

• He visto un cambio tremendo, sobre todo en el cómic independiente. Veo a todas estas mujeres jóvenes que están ahí fuera creando. Están haciendo estos grandes cómics web. Sus novelas gráficas están siendo publicadas. Están haciendo todo este arte maravilloso. Son poderosas. Hay una energía vital muy, muy hermosa que hace años sabía que existía pero que no veía tan claramente.

• Cuando empecé en el mundo de los cómics, me ponían en esos paneles de Mujeres de Marvel, y esas jóvenes se me acercaban y me decían: "Quiero escribir cómics, pero no sé si puedo porque me han dicho que es sólo para hombres". Yo les decía: "Eso es mentira. Eso es una absoluta gilipollez. Mírame a mí". Pero en lo que todavía tenemos que trabajar es en que necesitamos más mujeres de color. Eso aún no es algo común.

• I believe that the mainstream publishers, DC and Marvel, need to catch up as well. Out of the fifty-odd books that are published each month, just a handful are written by women, and even less of those are written by women of color. It's not right, and it's not good for the companies in the long-term. It's also not good for fans, for readers.

• Lo importante de hacer arte y escribir es que estamos usando nuestras voces y las estamos usando muy, muy alto. Y a las chicas o mujeres jóvenes que quieren escribir cómics, les digo: "Tenéis que usar vuestra voz. Tenéis que ocupar un espacio". Tenemos que luchar para que nos escuchen. Nadie más va a luchar por nosotras.

• I started out writing romance novels, and that's a side of publishing that's very female oriented. 99.9% of the writers are women, most of the editors are women, and these are books written for the female gaze. And so my point of view - the way I looked at fandom and publishing and writing - was all about women. So for me that's what was natural, that's what was comfortable. And then I moved over to comics. And all of a sudden it was... Pardon the expression, it was a sausage fest.

• The extraordinary thing about comic books and graphic novels is that they cannot exist without the art. If my words disappeared tomorrow, well, whatever. This is a visual medium in which the eye and the mind work together to bear witness to story, to lives.

• I've been going to San Diego's Comic-Con every year since 2007 or 2008. The first time I went it was an overwhelming experience because I wasn't expecting all the people; I wasn't even expecting all the joy. I came from a background where, when I was about eighteen or nineteen, I found comic-book fandom. But it was the fandom of online communities. And within those communities there was a tremendous amount of excitement and joy, but I'd never been around people in such a large group setting where this joy was pouring out of them. It was a revelation.
