Comics taught me how to write, and also patience and confidence.

I'm one of those people with restless hands. I need to be doodling, or biting my nails, or making socks.

Knitting is repetitive, rewarding, and calms me down like a warm bath. But it takes up juuuust enough brainspace that I can't come up with ideas. Which is too bad, because I love multitasking.

I could lose myself forever in that dark hair and those sweet love handles.

Impressing a bunch of snooty teenagers is a pretty lame life goal to have.

You may look normal like everyone else, but you're not. Not on the inside.

Why can't I just Google it like everything else?! I hate you public library system!

I think sometimes older people wind up being a little childlike. They've done their time, now they get to do what they want.

Animation taught me to draw quickly and clearly and to communicate a character's feelings through his or her body language and facial expressions.

I love drawing what the character is feeling, in my comics, with no dialogue.

When you change what you believe, you change what you do... which changes what you get.

Each word bears its weight, so you have to read my poems quite slowly.

I don't think that the feminist movement has done much for the characters of women.

Immediately after the Olympics, I was pretty fatigued.

This world has suns, but they are overcast;This world has sweets, but they're of ling'ring bloom;Life still expects, and empty falls at last;Warm Hope on tiptoe drops into the tomb.

It was 100,000 years before we figured out what to do with fire. Imagine cavemen, sitting in front of a fire, eating raw meat for 100 thousand years.

Such dainties to them, their health it might hurt; It 's like sending them ruffles when wanting a shirt.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of.

Dear me, I believe I am becoming a god. An emperor ought at least to die on his feet.
