“I felt like challenging myself and challenging my readers with somethi...” — Gilbert Hernandez Quote

“I felt like challenging myself and challenging my readers with something darker and heavier. I don't know how to explain it, because I'm not a political person. I have two political stories, and that's it: 'Human Diastrophism' and 'Poison River.'”

“Our father died when we were very young, so our mother raised six kids. We saw the world filtered through her eyes, being a minority woman raising six kids.”

“It wasn't until school that we realised that we were abnormal.”

“Plastic surgery for massive weight loss patients is very challenging under normal circumstances when you're a trained, board-certified plastic surgeon. When you're not a plastic surgeon, I can't even imagine it's even doable.”

“If I see something that's extremely challenging, I'm like, 'That seems really hard. Let's try it.' It's just my personality.”

“Politics is challenging for everyone's integrity... I have to wake up with myself every morning, and I have to be OK with the person I wake up with. If I string together too many days of waking up with a person I'm not happy to be, I have a lot bigger things at stake in my life than an election or a job.”
