I like that talented chefs are able to keep coming up with new ways of preparing food - it really is an art form.

I think a lot of people see fashion as a feminine art form and use that as an excuse to dismiss it. Highlighting it can be a way of affirming that women's interests are of value.

I think that even at my most anxious, if I have a job to do or a role to fill, I know on some level I can step up and complete it. I mean, I'm probably not going to go bungee jumping anytime soon... but pushing myself to weather some discomfort now and then feels healthy.

I used to think fashion was something unattainable and reserved only for people who look like models. But looking back, I've always made bold choices, possibly beginning with the silk jungle print jacket, orange shorts, and Nepalese cap I insisted on wearing every day when I was ten.

Maybe in the world of BoJack, physical attraction is sort of different, beauty standards are different from our world because, why not? It's just more fun to have a sexy chameleon or a blue-tongued skink or whatever. I don't know how subversive that is, but it's fun for me.

I think being creative is incredibly difficult and painful.

I never thought I'd enjoy collaborating so much, but turns out it feels like a super power if you collab with the right people.

I'm a bad artist. I'm lazy and untalented and bad.

I've always liked writing. Even when I was in art school and thought I was going to be a gallery painter, I liked to pair my artwork with writing. And so that naturally led to drawing comics.

I'm not a great boss because I don't like to tell other people what to do.

I've had trouble gaining access to certain people I'd really love to interview because they're worried I'll make fun of them. I'm a pretty private and self-conscious person, so I relate to that concern!

I'd love to do a book with scratch n' sniff pages and pieces of string and plastic attached to the pages, you know?
