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.

Sex is... perfectly natural. It's something that's pleasurable. It's enjoyable and it enhances a relationship. So why don't we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual?

But I think there's something wonderful and extraordinary about climbing on your own and just that kind of relationship to the environment. I'm very addicted to the mountains. You know so I do like that solitude.

I think if you're in a committed relationship unless you have some sort of an understanding monogamy is something that should exist.

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.

Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.

The term 'genre' eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started.

Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb.

Everybody has something that chews them up and for me that thing was always loneliness. The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely even when you are.

In the Old Testament it says that if you have the power to do something good then you have to do it. You're not to avoid helping somebody in their time of need.

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed you can have it and possess it but if you open your fingers in any way you can lose it just as quickly.

Power is not something that can be assumed or discarded at will like underwear.

You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something or that you were forced to but actually whatever you do you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.

There is something about inside information which seems to paralyse a man's reasoning powers.

What none of the critics positive or negative grasped was that 'The Searchers' was a different kind of Western something much darker and more disturbing than the usual fare.
