Everyday is a new beginning and a chance to blow it.

Every time I get something under control in my own life, the world provides more material.

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.

I'm most proud of having created something that men never completely get.

Each of us wages a private battle each day between the grand fantasies we have for ourselves and what actually happens.

In the '80s, I thought I'd be a success as a woman if I were the president of a billion dollar company, had a sensitive soul-mate husband, two bilingual children, buns of steels, and a compost heap. In the '90s, I pretty much feel I'm a success if I can get through the afternoon without eating a cheesecake.
