Gail Simone : (6) " I get very invested in characters; it’s the only way I find that I can write a book and really make it work. " - Gail Simone " I’ve always said my whole career that I wanted to write by the improv credo, ‘don’t negate,’ which means, even if you didn’t care for something, you try to make it work. You don’t say, ‘Oh, that particular story didn’t happen.’ " - Gail Simone " Part of the joy of my career, for me, has been giving these iconic females a bit of shading of that unapologetic female vibe. I think it’s an interesting approach. " - Gail Simone " I don’t need every book to have female creators, I don’t care if there are books that appeal mostly to guy readers. I don’t care if some books have cheesecake. I am fine with all of that. It’s the not allowing anything else that makes me furious. " - Gail Simone " I have never really gotten to write Catwoman. She’s one of the few iconic females at DC, along with Supergirl, that I haven’t really gotten to take out for a spin. " - Gail Simone " I’ve said this many times: I don’t care which hero punches which hero to get the Infinity Jockstrap or whatever. I do care that people find humanity in these stories, and maybe something connects, makes the world a little better for having read it. " - Gail Simone
