You can't undo a deportation.

I eventually saw the satirical nature of caricaturing individuals.

There are certain people within the new government who have a slightly disturbing tendency toward authoritarianism, but there are so many checks and balances that in that way their noises are just noises.

Primarily I'm a social commentator rather than someone who's out to get the belly laugh.

Sometimes I have to compromise my views, but I never compromise on issues like the death penalty and the arm trade laws, despite what the readers or letters may say.

What's much harder is taking on people in your own community.

Even people that I agree with can do something that would be a target for a bit of humor.

There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.

I am anti-Bush. A lot of what he stands for is the antithesis of what I stand for.

I see the cartoonist as contributing to the content, being critical, because we do poke holes in some of the dialogue and find new ways of seeing things.

The cartoons which I enjoy have caused some kind of out rage, but they have got people talking about these issues out in the open and in essence that's what its all about.

Certainly in cartooning I'm given huge free rein at the moment.

I think the eyes are very revealing and can expose a lot about a persons mood or character.

You can't undo a deportation.

I normally keep a series of draft in a catalogue type of book in which I scribble, sketch and draw ideas.

I was very lucky all three newspapers approached me and asked me to draw their cartoons for them.

I would think a sense of the absurd is more important for a political cartoonist, because that could define things like a sense of hypocrisy or a sense of the things one has to be skeptical about.

Gee, I am a complete Luddite when it comes to computers, I can barely log on!

On one occasion in 1987 the security police came looking for me because of a drawing that I'd published.

It's to be a person who's able to shoot little arrows into sacred cows and knock politicians off their pedestals, to look out for hypocrisy, advocate for all sorts of things from social justice to peace.

I try not to change my political point of view from paper to paper.

Mandela once phoned me out of the blue while he was still president, and at first he played with me a bit.

We do, and there is a law in the United States - the Torture Convention - that prohibits the United States from deporting an individual to a country where there is a reasonable expectation that he will be subjected to torture - physical, mental or otherwise.

I think human self-hatred may be the great untold story of the millennium. It's the common thread linking deep ecology and animal rights, the love and money we lavish on pets, the uneasy longing for extraterrestrials to be meddling with us.

He that is not jealous is not in love.

Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed.

In China we need to do our own part to try to combat global climate change.

I took a decision that I wanted to be a long-term player in Congo.

The much-hyped Ares 1-X was much ado about nothing.

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.

'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' is one of the greatest films of all time.

Anybody who believes and experiences their life and doesn't have shades of gray in it doesn't live where I live and is simply not in touch with the reality of the human condition.

Sometimes it is better to begin the journey, to get under way, then it is to sit back and wait until such time that you're convinced that all conditions are perfect and that there'll be no surprises along the route.

Despite the success cult men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there or failing to get there.

Under Obamacare, it virtually is impossible to find out the price of anything. That's not the way to make health care affordable.

Bureaucracy by its nature resists change and nullifies progress.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

For me, the writing process is the same as the reading process. I want to know what happens next.

Miss Goodblatt would call on me to read. She said I had a talent. So on a whim, I auditioned for the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan.

Love works not for profit nor reward; yet God has ordained that great gain shall be the certain result of every labor of love.

We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.

No one wants to read a story where I saw a cute puppy on the street and I petted it. I mean, that's not funny. I only write about the funny stuff.

But people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I'm not perfect.

With the whole supermodel thing, even when you're not really modeling anymore, people still call me that. And I'm like '... retired.'

As coaches say its about finding your role. Were coming together as a team.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

When I was in high school in America, I didn't see anyone who looked like me - hardly ever. I just thought that was normal because you don't know any better. So I used to idolize so many other people, like Sarah Michelle Gellar on 'Buffy.'
