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.

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.

I don't want to be considered 'the Latino rapper.'

The threat and use of violence is stimulating nuclear proliferation along with jihadi terrorism.

I can walk down the street all day and people look at me, but they don't talk to me or stop me.

Letting your mind play is the best way to solve problems.

I'm a cynic about corporate democracy and boards.

I'm a gay black guy. If I can't ask questions without caring what people think of me, who can?

During the day, if I don't have any other commitments, I'm usually at my desk writing, revising, or researching anywhere from four to six hours.

I'm no editor, no artisan, no expert. And certainly no arbiter of what you should buy, wear, or eat.

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you

Know guns know peace know safety. No guns no peace no safety.

Only remember west of the Mississippi it's a little more look, see, act. A little less rationalize, comment, talk.

I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll.

The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Pretty soon we will no longer have movies. We will have television series only.

Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.

To me, the question of inspiration is an exercise in hindsight. The truth is, inspiration is mysterious at the time. I don't think it's ever a rational process.

I think it's necessary to identify with anything - with any character you play, there's got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it's like one tiny thing. But it's equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

I'm not a Republican, but I was one once - when I was 7 years old. Not my fault. The symbol of the Republican Party is an elephant, I'm a Hindu - I was confused.

If you win, if you make money. If you do quality work, then other people of color, whatever color that is, can get in the door.

There is nothing like youth.

The Dorm Room Diet is nothing like the conventional diets you may have tried in the past. It offers guidelines for creating a healthy lifestyle on your own, without the daunting restrictions of a quick-fix diet.
