Zelda Williams

I've always enjoyed gaming, but even as I got older, and I started to get deeper into writing and all this stuff that is my grown-up job, I couldn't play as much as I used to.

Whether by my own volition or otherwise, I was given a year-and-a-half break after Dad passed. It was kind of like an elephant in the room, and everyone was giving me space, whether I wanted it or not.

Hummingbirds are fun and flighty and strange. It's hard to keep them in one place, and Dad was a bit like that.

I can imagine Dad joking about how hard it'd be to get an actor to give back when it's hard enough to ask them to give a good performance.

For a man so incredibly hairy and square, watching my dad get on a bike was like watching a penguin spread its wings and take flight. He'd take off at inhuman speed, a smile on his face, and never look back.

Cartoons make kids happy, and that's a great feeling.

I'm not one of these new supermodel girls on Instagram in bikinis. I'm different, but that's okay.

Being bisexual doesn't mean I'm suddenly willy-nilly running around.

Truthfully, you're not your audience, so all that self-consciousness and all that - it gets in the way of you actually just being the best thing in whatever thing that you're doing.

I think the concept of ego has kind of taken over for a lot of people in our industry.

I like hummingbirds.

Avoiding fear, sadness, or anger is not the same thing as being happy.
