Youth is really in your attitude, not in what you look like.

It's one thing to get a letter from your kid at camp telling you he wants to come home. It's another to get a letter from a grown child saying they're coming back to live with you!

Political hypocrisy and racism make me hot under the collar.

Animated editorial cartoons are completely different from static editorial cartoons.

There are a lot of really great cartoonists out there. It's nice to be thought of as one of them.

We have to be able to poke fun at ourselves.

I still do the standard editorial cartoon: that is my bread and butter. I absolutely love doing that.

People really love editorial cartoons, and I think publishers understand that.

Be happy that you're growing older, that you're maturing, that you're smarter, that you're wiser.

Student cartoonists as well as professionals should always be careful that they're not doing a cartoon that already has been done.

With a standard editorial cartoon, you're taking tons of information and synthesizing it down to a single bite - a single moment in time. With animated editorial cartoons, it's more storytelling.

I work hard at my job, and I guess hard work pays off.
