Hey, every once in awhile the secondary form works better than the original but it's certainly a rarity.

Comics as art. I do comics as comics, and my opportunity to tell stories. Simple. Basic. Let the characters have the excitement, not the package. That's where I come from.

Every time I copy something, I can draw it for the rest of my life. But research is so painful - I mean just opening up a magazine looking for a picture of a car or looking out the window looking for a car is just hard!

Every day I run into people who don't know what I do. And even after I explain it they still don't know what I do. So now I can just say, 'Pick up the Locas book!' And that tells them all.

The Tom Strong thing was totally for the money. I plan to get looser after I finish this Maggie saga.

It's rare that I actually have a story in my head. I have events or 'what's the next move?' Like, Maggie, 'where's she going to go in this story, where's she going to end up?' Then the story has to fill in the in-between, and that comes as I'm starting it.

To me, sex is sex and I don't think it is or should be a problem. Maybe my presenting it that way will unscrew up a few heads out there, including my own.

I used to always read my stuff. And I could never understand why artists would say, 'Oh, I can't read my older stuff.' I'd go, 'Are you crazy? I could read my stuff forever!' Now it's a little harder.

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.

The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands.

Be yourself and you can be anything.

Tennis is best of three sets, so even if I lose the first set, I still have a chance.

O imitators, you slavish herd!

Much of spiritual life is self-acceptance, maybe all of it.

When I started modeling, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat. But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I'm quite stubborn so I didn't.

You can't do nothing but try if you still got it in your heart.

It's only when you're alone that you realize where you are. You have nothing to fall back on except your own resources.

If I'm going to have to deal, as I get older, with arthritic pain, I don't want to get into opiates.

It's important to know that if you are dealing with shadows.

After dinner I'll catch up with emails. And when I'm lying in bed, I think about the next collection. That makes me sound insane, doesn't it? That I'm getting into bed with David Beckham and thinking about clothes?

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.

Money makes life easier but I don't want to be rich, not at all.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
