You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever.

I wouldn't know what to do on a date. I don't have the time. To make a relationship work I'd have to give something up and I'm not so sure I'm willing to do that.

I can't tell you 100 percent what makes a relationship work. But I can see something good coming and I can see something bad coming.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

If I get married it's something you really have to work at. It's hard enough to work at having a relationship with best friends and girls that are in the business.

It's one thing to have a relationship to lay your hands on it and another to make it continue and last. That's something I haven't talked about much in my comic strips and it's certainly something I'm interested in.

I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it.

There's the theory that nudity doesn't really make something sexy the characters and their relationship make it sexy.

When I'm working I'm very purposeful and everything else gets out of focus. Something I've had to work on together with my wife is how to acknowledge each other in the midst of this and keep the relationship going.

I'm afraid the SS's relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny.

I think in a way you're doomed once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.

We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then but I don't. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line... I don't mean to brush aside the taste of meat which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.

I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.

What one writer can make in the solitude of one room is something no power can easily destroy.
