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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
