Quote by Ellen Forney

“For one thing, I don't think art needs to be about suffering; sometimes it really seems like it's only the art about pain that is interpreted as profound, and in my work for years I've really tried to deal with subjects that are substantial, not just fluffy, but presented in a more playful, approachable kind of way.”

“When I was growing up, I was teased for being too skinny. I went to summer camp when I was 11.

Because of that trauma, I never wore short pants or short skirts until I was 20.”
