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

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!

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.

We're all idealistic when young.

Even if you go to Australia today, it's very much like visiting a state you haven't been to.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

An outsider's point of view is always handy.

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.

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.

I can always see what I've done wrong. I'm always learning. I'm the perennial student.

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.

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.

There were dragons to slay in the old days.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had, but it looks like we need to relearn them again.

What makes me laugh? Richard Nixon always made me laugh.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back.

Now I start my diary of my personal plot to kill by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace.

I thought Nixon was the worst President we had ever had, save only perhaps Andrew Johnson.

The fact of the Watergate cover-up is not nearly as interesting as the step into making the cover-up. And when you understand the step, you understand that Richard Nixon lied. That he was a criminal.

The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to have around, especially as President.

Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.

He and Reagan were not at all alike, because Reagan is an optimist and Dick Nixon wasn't. Yet in some ways they were alike. Neither really liked to talk on the telephone, for instance. And, in a lot of respects, both of them were very much loners.

Even now there is no evidence that anyone involved in the Nixon operation was going to threaten us.

The Nixon administration kept a nasty eye on our show... Cops would come by - often just in time to see the act they wanted to see.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.

The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it.

The old Court you and I served so long will not be worthy of its traditions if Nixon can twist, turn and fashion If Nixon gets away with that, then Nixon makes the law as he goes along - not the Congress nor the courts.

The number of illegal activities were so large that one was bound to come out and lead to the uncovering of the others. Nixon was too willing to use the power of government to settle scores and get even with enemies.

I wrote that letter, and the one to Nixon. And I wrote more letters, and I thought it might be a magazine article. At that time I sent it to Esquire and Playboy, but anyway, I kept writing, and all of sudden I had enough and thought, well maybe it is a book.

Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.

It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

In many ways when Jerry Ford pardoned Nixon, in a certain way, he did speak for the country.

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

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

The Nixon years were trying. They honed my judgment for everything I did later on. The experience also illustrated for me the importance of training young lawyers properly.

Nixon is finding out there are no tails on an Eisenhower jacket.

Even before Watergate and his resignation, Nixon had inspired conflicting and passionate emotions.

The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.

Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
