“When I read Katana's run in 'Birds of Prey,' I was curious about her restraint. She didn't laugh, didn't loosen up, didn't seem to have a light side. I thought, well, that demure nature is what we believe of women of Old Japan, so she seemed not like a modern Japanese but from an earlier time.”

“I'm thrilled to be taking over Green Arrow. What I adore about the Arrow is his recklessness. He'll shoot off on an impulse, dispatch someone if they deserve it; his heroism is instinctive.”

“I don't think most people are all heroic or all villainous, so I find ambiguity of motivations to be a natural human condition.”

“Did St. Francis preach to the birds? Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.”

“My kids always joked that I spent more time cooking the birds' food than I have cooking for them. And it's probably true.”

“I'm sort of killing two birds with one stone here, getting to write for 'True Blood' and being able to put myself in a comic at the same time.”
