Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

To some extent, all authors are a little schizophrenic. We lead most of our lives in solitary confinement, living and breathing the books that we're writing.

Please hear this: There are not 'schizophrenics.' There are people with schizophrenia.

I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.

The way I write is that I'll actually have a conversation out loud with myself. In a weird way, I just kind of get schizophrenic and play two characters.

Never get into an argument with a schizophrenic person and say, 'Who do you think you are?'

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip, 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip, despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

The experience and behavior that gets labeled schizophrenic is a special strategy that a person invents in order to live in an unlivable situation.

A writer is what I am.

If I weren't a writer, I'd be a psychiatrist.
