The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

It's quite difficult to write about female friendship without it seeming to be a very niche subject. It's a difficult balance.

I always try to have a fun nail. It's something whimsical that you can pull off anytime.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

There are comics who treat women fairly appallingly. But I can be great friends with them because I don't tend to do that ticking of boxes: it can make life too simplistic.

I loved the whole idea, first of all, of what friendship is. Very often, there are people that somehow you don't know how to declare that you are their friend, but you are their friend. That happens in a lot in high school. And outside of high school.

I think that women definitely have a special bond as friends that is hard to describe to men, and we don't often see that portrayed narratively.

I love getting my nails done. My mom's best friend is a manicurist. When I was little, she'd do little paintings on my nails, like flowers.

As I grow older, I think friendship between women is a thing to cherish.

Friendship is a difficult, dangerous job. It is also (though we rarely admit it) extremely exhausting.
