Following the teaching of Gandhi and Thoreau, Dr. King, it set me on a path. And I never looked back.

Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech always sends me down some path, some trajectory of some creative idea.

The action of Rosa Parks, the words and leadership of Dr. King inspired me. I was deeply inspired. I wanted to do something.

I was a child when the March on Washington led by Martin Luther King occurred, and I wanted to hear what was going on. I wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to contribute in the best way I possibly could.

Without sounding too pretentious, I was sort of a slave to the narrative. When the narrative cracks in, I have to go where it takes me. I had to go to the Bohemian Grove. It was the obvious end to the book.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes.

It was Dr. King's tireless activism that fostered our modern way of relating to one another.

It had to be a book that held my attention and kept me wanting to read it; when my husband finished 'The Road', I started it straight away and didn't put it down until I finished - it was such an achievement and relief to know that I could read, comprehend and, most importantly, enjoy a book!

I marched back then - I was in a civil-rights musical, Fly Blackbird, and we met Martin Luther King.

Comic books were just the means for me to tell the story.
