 I can always see what I've done wrong. I'm always learning. I'm the perennial student. |
| The fact that we're protected under that Constitution in exercising the right of free speech, it's a wonderful thing. You've got to come from somewhere else to realize how valuable it is. |
| One-newspaper towns are not good because all the surviving newspaper does is print money. They make 25 percent on their money every year, and if they go down to 22 percent, they start laying people off. |
| 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. |

| 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 been in Washington ever since 1981, trying to get out! |
| 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. |
| 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. |
