Gene Luen Yang Love Quotations

I minored in creative writing in college, and I've played with the idea of doing something more hybrid, but comics are my first love.

I love hearing people who are smarter than me talk about my comics. It makes me feel smarter.

I love the interplay between words and pictures. I love the fact that in comics, your pictures are acting like words, presenting themselves to be read.

I got these big coffee table books about Chinese opera from the local library, and I loved looking through them. I loved studying the intricate costumes and figuring out how to 'cartoonify' them.
