Coming up with ideas is really hard - they don't spontaneously pop into my head while I'm cutting vegetables.

Lives have been altered in fundamental ways, and later, after they acquire a more complete understanding of what goals are actually attainable, many are left facing a lot of pain and frustration. And yet, there's no culture of complaint.

The strips about the military do seem to provoke moving and thoughtful responses. It's nice when the strip resonates, but more importantly, I need to know when I'm getting something wrong. The last thing I want to do is contribute to the suffering that wounded warriors already endure.

I'm a pointillist, just working my tiny little piece of the canvas. I'm not so good at perspective.

Yeah, I definitely like broadcasting. And I'm looking forward to getting into it when my career is done.

When you get into this line of work, you're in public office, you expect you're gonna have cheap shots taken at you. That's part of the process.

I was lucky to work with Gamechanger Films, who are a consortium of investors financing films directed by women. This is a company that puts their money where their mouth is.

I am not able to think about this as a job, like work. It's 12 or 13 hours, but for me, it's not working.
