I write about real life as it is lived by the young American Muslim women that I've had the pleasure of meeting throughout the course of my travels as a writer and being able to speak in different places and meet different people at signings and things.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Being a Muslim in America, I've noticed that there's a ton of crossover between the Muslim community and geekdom.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
When I need guidance or just to kvetch or to bounce ideas off of people, I go to Gail Simone, who is very much kind of the den mother of all of us who are working comics.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Superheroes don't often get their powers in one fell swoop. It's like superhero puberty.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
When you write for a comic series, many superheroes have 60 or some years of history that you are coming into.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
As a writer and a mom, I wish I could split into two or three different people so I could be with my kids all day, write all day, and go out and do the interviews all day. Multiplicity woman!
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
People love to talk about new and different. They don't always love to buy and read new and different.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I think people, especially in the Muslim community, are rightly cautious any time you hear, 'Oh, there's going to be a Muslim character.'
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
That's something the head scarf, in a symbolic way, is meant to do in Arabic culture: it defines your relationship to your husband and the men of your family differently than your relationship to the average guy on the street you've never met.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The great thing about Cairo is the vast majority of women wear some kind of head scarf, but they are also very fashion-conscious. They love bright colors.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I think any time you have a super team, whether it's all men or all women or both, what you have are people with very unique strengths that aren't always totally compatible.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I think that's a huge theme in superhero books across the board: When you have this massive power, how do you use it responsibly? When do you intervene? Those are the big questions.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I think all these pop cultural media often reflect conversations we're having in the real world at that moment in time. I think one of the big conversations we're having as a culture is we thought we'd solved sexism and racism, and we're realizing more and more that we haven't.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I think comics are really part of The Zeitgeist. They reflect back to us the issues that we're concerned about in the time they are written.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Sometimes, by using the most over-the-top, ridiculous plot device you can imagine, you get some interesting little conflicts and cool things that you might not otherwise have a chance to explore.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I'm not a programmer myself, but I am a very, very picky end user of technology. I like my machines to work they way they're supposed to, all the time.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
In many countries in the Middle East - and this is changing in the wake of the Arab Spring - but for a long time, censorship of books and film was a very big deal. There were books you couldn't buy; things with political content would be censored, but there were some genres of books and film that the censors just didn't understand.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I'm writing in English; I'm writing for a Western audience, but the people I'm surrounded by in my daily life are mostly non-white.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Americans look at the Middle East as a source of trauma because of 9/11. At the same time, I could see the fear going on in the Middle East as well - which would be the next country to be invaded or sanctioned? Being around those tensions was traumatic for me.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
When we read fiction, we want to get outside of ourselves and are able to see from a perspective we haven't seen through before. That can be very powerful.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
When I am in Egypt, I am along for the ride - I am a privileged outsider, but an outsider nonetheless.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
If you love things or ideas or people that contradict each other, you have to be prepared to fight for every square inch of intellectual real estate you occupy.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
In the West, anything that must be hidden is suspect; availability and honesty are interlinked. This clashes irreconcilably with Islam, where the things that are most precious, most perfect and most holy are always hidden: the Kaaba, the faces of prophets and angels, a woman's body, Heaven.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
There's a burden of representation that comes into play when there aren't enough representatives of a certain group in popular culture.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
It's patently impossible for a Muslim character to represent 'all Muslims.'
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I think lot of Muslims have gotten fatigued by the way Muslim characters, even 'positive' ones, are portrayed in the media.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Because the traditional mode of dress for Muslim women is so distinct - the headcovering, which is not there for guys - women carry a greater burden of representation than Muslim men do in non-Muslim societies.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The first comic I ever read was an 'X-Men' themed anti-smoking PSA they gave out in health class when I was about 10.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Anytime you're writing stories about a group of people with whom you have limited experience, there's a lot of guesswork.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
What we wanted to do was tell a story that felt relatable to anyone who's been a teenager. We haven't all been a second-generation Pakistani-American girl with superpowers, but we've all been 16 and awkward.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
To me, writing an ongoing series feels like driving a freight train downhill. All you can do is steer and pray.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The more you put out there, the more you have to resolve. 'Air' is the most literary comic I've written so far, and that poses problems.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
A lot of my writer friends - some of whom are brilliant - work when the Muse calls them, for lack of a better description. You know, days of nothing, then this creative burst where they write for 36 hours straight fueled by caffeine and idealism.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
'Air' is very placeless - it's set in many different countries, and much of the story is about going places rather than being places. 'Air' is about travelers, and I'm a chronic traveler.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
It took me a long time to square with the fact that none of my experiences are typical - I'm not a typical American, but I'm also not a typical Muslim.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
The script for what would eventually become my first graphic novel, 'Cairo,' sort of came to me in kind of a bolt of lightning within 24 hours of having moved to that city. Just a jumble of characters and narratives and interesting things that I was seeing and experiencing for the first time.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I tend to deal with characters who are sort of at that same point of wrestling with, 'Who am I going to be as an adult? What do I believe? How am I defining myself in the context of my culture and my peer groups, my family?'
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
In Arab Islamic society, it is traditionally taboo to criticize the lifestyle or personal philosophy of any practicing Muslim.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
'Lost' seems to be the inverse of 'Air': It explores dispossession and identity by forcing a bunch of people into one invented landscape instead of using many invented landscapes to keep people apart.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
Leaving your country at a tender age really rearranges the way you perceive the world. So I feel marginally attached to many places rather than deeply attached to any one place.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
I do hope the success of 'Ms. Marvel' will open doors for other characters and other creators.
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
We don't want to create a literary ghetto in which black writers are only allowed to write black characters and women writers are put on 'girl books.'
Quote by -G. Willow Wilson
There is a certain danger in thinking about diversity in its own little box, as something that is somehow separate from 'normal' comic books and comics creators.
