Basically, my work is play. It never actually feels that way - I'm always aiming to attain that state. But I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.

I suppose that a lifetime spent hiding one's erotic truth could have a cumulative renunciatory effect. Sexual shame is in itself a kind of death.

I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.

Was Daedalus really stricken with grief when Icarus fell into the sea? Or just disappointed by the design failure

And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.

It's our very capacity for self-consciousness that makes us self-destructive!

The writing is hard, and the drawing is fun. It's very satisfying to see a drawing start to come together.

We are all insects. Groping towards something terrible or divine.

Without Creativity there is no INNOVATION!

I always want to look unattractive, it's more fun. I like playing opposites, people who aren't attractive who think they are pretty. That's always interesting to me.

To anyone out there who has ever been assaulted: You will never be alone. You are never alone. We have your back. I've got your back.

Good and bad, happy and sad, all thoughts vanish into emptiness like the imprint of a bird in the sky.

In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.
