What made you want to tell your story for this project?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c9lo\u00efse Marseille:<\/strong>\u00a0When I began, I didn\u2019t think it was ever going to be published and seen by as many people as it has! It started as a project in university. At first I thought it was going to be a 25-page project, and I didn\u2019t know what to write about, so I went on Google and I wrote \u201cHow to write a story?\u201d And the advice everyone gives you is \u201cWrite what you know\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>So I thought, what do I know better than my own life? At first I just wanted to do a recollection of funny or embarrassing sex stories. We all have them, and to me, it\u2019s really, really funny! And as I was drawing it, it kind of ended up going into very deep, emotional, raw places that I didn\u2019t expect it to go.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/ppR0m70P-u2RnSVZF_3SsAmsVtFAfCKh3yNTBs7qE-HDKfJej1HKsfLnkvG4GuIB99uWtHiCaREEFn5PAGdEBcls023aNi-7xZ8Cu4CRBmdb-mwDkGPeym933agl2yKplXZgUfm-B8ExKr6OQvwDDjc\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>As you mentioned there\u2019s a lot of really funny stories, lots of goofy humor, but then you end up delving pretty deeply into some sad, very serious, and even traumatic stories from your youth. Was it a challenge to balance those tones in the book?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, not really. I think the book is very similar to my own personality. I love laughing, I love making jokes, but I\u2019m also a very open person. I always say I don\u2019t have secrets, because I just share everything, and I think for me it actually made it a lot easier to talk about those harder or more sensitive subjects by using humor.<\/p>\n<p>I watched an interview with Phoebe Waller Bridge yesterday, and she said something that I thought was really good, and links to my book a little bit. In\u00a0<em>Fleabag<\/em>\u00a0she touches on very harsh subjects, and she said \u201cYou use humor so that your public lowers their defenses, and after that you punch them in the face.\u201d I really related to that, I was like, \u201cOh my God, that\u2019s what I do too.\u201d It wasn\u2019t necessarily hard to write either. I didn\u2019t think that\u00a0<em>Naked<\/em>\u00a0was ever going to be read by an actual public. So it was more of a journaling experience. It was very therapeutic for me to talk about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So it doesn\u2019t sound like it, but you weren\u2019t nervous at all to put some of the stories out there? It\u2019s very much like a \u201cmature readers\u201d book, and it\u2019s dealing with sexuality, and all kinds of like quote-unquote embarrassing situations. There\u2019s even a great moment where your Mom is talking to you in the comic. She\u2019s like, \u201cI love you, sweetie, but just don\u2019t do a comic about this!\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love that you mentioned that joke. I think it\u2019s the best joke in the entire book! I\u2019m a very open person. I find a lot of empowerment talking about those harsher subjects. In the book, I talk about being sterile, and I remember when I was younger, I was so, so embarrassed of that. When I started sharing it and I had support and validation, I remember that I stopped hiding. Because I had such a positive reaction from people, I just wanted to share it with more people to get even more positive reinforcement, you know?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/y5PgTZL_rEBVQn42NIUKLIAzjbUfInv5Pq2MFL5zB-ddaYtBMNT4915F_AM_uD6uGDLygvKsXdptadsMPw9O2MGmdo3Km8aU_gxgwWaTbwvOpO84BY2ey_ekeFd8oTuoJeC4M_LkVlxJe5LQ7M0nh70\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>And I think maybe it\u2019s a little bit the same with my book. All the stories I share, I\u2019m not ashamed of anymore. And by sharing them, I get validation from more and more and more people. So, it helps me in return feel even more confident in the events that have happened in my life and more confident as a woman and as an adult.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I got negative feedback, it was really stupid stuff. Seriously, like a lot of people were very angry that I drew my characters with leg hair! I can\u2019t take that seriously. To me, that criticism has no legs to stand on, so I\u2019m just like, \u201cOkay!\u201d And even if I got really terrible feedback, it doesn\u2019t change who I am, it doesn\u2019t change my value as a person.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/MIFrzPtAhuclo5L1-Q4x6Pd2vz6IKK2lA4L0FxwR8HWI1MtbUTdkZXpd-YsJ6TIOAMnLbzs8oHfVyEY0xpyL18fYNOo6UbQqdIqfDcp5ovFx_WkFlHjVwkDLRsJV0cic_MdaNCFiF4OXvHtYI55S4IE\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>When people read\u00a0<\/strong><strong><em>Naked: The Confessions of a Normal Woman<\/em><\/strong><strong>, what do you hope that they take away from it at the end of the book?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sex can be this very big scary monster, this very big subject. I hope it can be more of this silly, stupid thing that is not that serious. To me, sex is very funny. What\u2019s hard with that is that there\u2019s so much outside pressure, which is so frustrating because sex is so intimate, but there is this insane pressure crushing you\u2026 How you should act, how you should be feeling, how your body should look, what you should enjoy, what you shouldn\u2019t enjoy, how your body should react, all that stuff. And I feel if my book could maybe help ease that pressure a little bit, I think that would be really, really amazing. Something that people told me is that they felt very \u201cseen\u201d in the book. Which made me really, really happy because one of the major themes of my book is shame, and most of my shame during my entire life came from feeling alone and not normal, so hearing that other people felt seen sort of makes me hope that it made them feel less alone, and maybe took away a little bit of that shame that they feel.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that\u2019s what I hope.
