Journalism was looked upon as a more noble thing than it is now. I don't know if it carries the same cachet that it did then.

Some days you feel like this is really going well. You can tell. Other days, you're just drawing like a farmer and you don't know why.

I hate changes of administrations, because I have all my villains in place and they are all taken away and replaced with faceless wonders nobody knows.

So many cartoonists draw the same year after year. When they find a style, they stick with it. They don't mess with innovation, and they become boring.

An outsider's point of view is always handy.

There were dragons to slay in the old days. Nixon was a good dragon.

If it were not for the fact that editors have become so timorous in these politically correct times, I would probably have a greater readership than I have.

There has always been quite a strong black and white art tradition in Australia, with quite a large contingent of cartoonists, given the size of the population.

I've always looked upon politics as a very boring thing. Politics never interested me as much as the people involved in it.

I see myself as an artist who happens to do cartoons.

I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.

And therein lies the whole of man's plight. Human time does not turn in a circle

I don’t wish for more time. I wish for more courage to live freely right now.

Aberrant is not abhorrent

True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

It's so wonderful... if your whole day is rotten, once they start the music, it seems to melt away.

The mind always fails first, not the body. The secret is to make your mind work for you, not against you.

There isn’t anything I have to be afraid of, love is the answer.

No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity.

I believe that the mindset that allows you to spend your working life thanking and congratulating people rather than being unpleasant to them is the mainstay of good leadership.
