“There are so many comics about violence. I'm not entertained or amused by violence, and I'd rather not have it in my life. Sex, on the other hand, is something the vast majority of us enjoy, yet it rarely seems to be the subject of comics. Pornography is usually bland, repetitive and ugly, and, at most, 'does the job.' I always wanted to make a book that is pornographic, but is also, I hope, beautiful, and mysterious, and engages the mind.” MindDoeBookHandsSeemsWantedJobsBeautifulSexEnjoyViolenceSubjectsMajorityUglyMysteriousPornographyAmusedRepetitiveBland Author:Dave McKean
“I think in that context, when a generation of kids is that ignorant of their recent history, it does a good job of showing what the Pistols were standing for. It's current and it's in the air, partly because I think nothing contemporary is as extreme or as strongly stated as what The Sex Pistols were able to do in their time, in the '70s. I think the reason to [make the film] is that their ideas are still alive: the defense of the right to be an individual, and questioning everything you read, and questioning all the information that's bombarded increasingly at you.” ThinkingDoeStillsIdeasReasonKidsAbleJobsFilmIndividualSexAliveGenerationsAirInformationStandingCurrentsExtremesDefenseIgnorantContemporaryQuestioningGood JobPistolsBombardedSex PistolsQuestioning Everything Author:Julien Temple

“[M]any females would, even assuming complete economic equality between the sexes, prefer residing with males or peddling their asses on the street, thereby having most of their time for themselves, to spending many hours of their days doing boring, stultifying, non-creative work for somebody else, functioning as less than animals, as machines, or, at best - if able to get a "good" job - co-managing the shitpile. What will liberate women, therefore, from male control is the total elimination of the money-work system, not the attainment of economic equality with men within it.” IfsMenAbleJobsSexHoursAnimalCreativeEconomicStreetsFemaleMachinesAssumingMalesBoringSpendingAssGood JobAttainmentEliminationCreative WorkEconomic EqualityPeddling Author:Valerie Solanas
“Every time I do anything, I have to ask myself: Is it a good role, and is it right to do it?

“There is not a moral to every story in animal behavior. Sometimes a snake is just a snake, and sometimes snake sex is only about sex in snakes, or sex in egg-laying reptiles. Although a biologist's job in part is to interpret what organisms do in a broader context, that context does not, and should not, need to include a lesson for human beings. This is true regardless of whether the lesson is something we would like to teach, which means that using animals as vehicles for nonsexist thinking is just as out of bounds as using them to keep women barefoot and pregnant.” ThinkingNeedsShouldHumansMeanDoeSometimesStoriesJobsSexHuman BeingsAnimalMoralTeachLessonsBehaviorBoundsEggsVehiclePregnantOrganismsSnakesBiologistBarefootReptilesAnimal Behavior Author:Marlene Zuk
