My guide had a copy of Palestine on my last trip to Gaza. He'd bring it out and show people what I was trying to do. That usually went over pretty well.

And I think I find, I know a lot of people around, in different cities, and so it's not - it might sound strange - but it's not that hard to say good-bye, because I know there's other people where I'm going. I can sort of fit in in a lot of places.

It's a visual world and people respond to visuals.

I think any journalist who spends time in a place realizes that there are lots of stories around beyond their primary story. You meet so many interesting people and have all kinds of experiences.

Of course, I'm drawn to a place like Iraq because It's the biggest story of our generation.

And, in some ways I like traveling, in other ways I'm sort of fed up by the whole notion.

When I was there, something clicked in my head; I found myself interviewing people, searching out facts and figures. Later on I became much more self-conscious of what I was doing.

I will interview bigwigs if I get the chance, but you are seldom surprised by people in power - you've got to get awfully damn close to get anything new.

I'm not a good tourist, I don't like tourism.

There's probably one more story about Bosnia that I'd like to do, because I spent a fair amount of time on the Serb side of the lines, which isn't apparent in the other books.

I tried to draw people more realistically, but the figure I neglected to update was myself.

I'd rather go to a place and spend a couple of months, get to know it, get to know the people.

I don't often go to a place just to check out all the cultural sites of a city.

When I went to Bosnia, I was there to tell someone else's story and I was more methodical.

I'd much rather hang out in a cafe. That's where things are really happening.

With comics you can put interesting and solid information in a format that's pretty palatable.

Oh, it's essential. I mean, you have to - if I'm writing about the Middle East, I have to go there, and if possible, stay long enough to get a real feeling for what's going on.

Robert Crumb is an influence on how I draw, but not on the subject matter I take or my approach. One thing I do like about Crumb is that he's chronicled his age, his times, and I think that is what artists should do.

I try to ask visual questions. I'll ask what someone was wearing, if that seems relevant. If possible, I'll walk over the same ground that they're depicting. Of course, I can never get it precisely as it was.

I think I'm generally a good listener anyway.

I don't like just traveling in for a short time. I've done that before, because sometimes you work for magazines and they have a budget, and if you're working for them, they want something by a certain time.

It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing.

Cherish your health family friends and vocation for none of these things are permanent.

Be humble and grateful for what you have and the universe will reward your gratitude.

It is great to be introspective, self analysis can be useful, but only if it results in action.

Look inside, without anyone else's validation understand that you are valuable, talented, unique, and worthy.

I prefer being penetrated by iron to seeing Palestine is loose.

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

Resistance in Palestine will continue until the final liberation of all the Palestinian lands.

A lasting solution to this problem will have an exceptionally positive influence foremost on the peoples of Palestine and Israel, as well as on the region and the international community.

I have no fear that the candle lighted in Palestine years ago will ever be put out.

I believe that Palestine is an occupied land from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, and this is the right of the entire Palestinian people, this land.

Our priorities require that all children of Palestine, men and women, be ready for conflict, both from the standpoint of training and from the standpoint of armament.

In the past there was a difference between the conditions in which Hizballah operated in Lebanon and the conditions of resistance operated in Palestine.

Palestine is our unforgettable historic home. The very name would be a force of marvelous potency for summoning our people together.

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.

The Palestinians need more help from the Arab countries. Since 1967, the world has learned that there is not going to be real progress in the region until Palestine gets something back that they had.

Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart.

Hamas, also elected to governmental leadership in Palestine, includes the jihadists, people who have declared war on the United States of America and its ally, Israel.

The evidence of a Jewish civilization going back more than two millennia is overwhelmingly borne out in the archaeology of the region. The heritage of the Jews in Palestine is documented.

Zionism demands a publicly recognized and legally secured homeland in Palestine for the Jewish people. This platform is unchangeable.

It would behoove the world to become used to this fact: that without a just solution to the Palestine tragedy, there can be no stable peace in the Middle East.

I have drawn inspiration from the Marine Corps, the Jewish struggle in Palestine and Israel, and the Irish.

There is no more Palestine. Finished.

California is a tragic country - like Palestine, like every Promised Land.

If you are asking for my point of view, I would say that the Palestinians should go back to Palestine.

There's Hezbollah, there's Hamas, there is a whole range of terrorist targets out there related to Palestine and to Israel that we ought to be trying to deal with. And there's a great deal of targets in the Philippines, Indonesia. You name it, there are a number of places where there are targets that we ought to be trying to deal with.
