I don't consider myself a cartoonist, because to me a cartoonist has a lot of technical ability to draw and such. However, I do consider myself to have a bit of a cartoonist character. I definitely am analyzing and satirizing pop culture and politics and whatever strikes my fancy.

Perez Hilton

I think there was a point in the past when I felt that my options as an artist were either to make race a nonissue and deny its impact on life and just say, "Don't think of me as an Asian cartoonist. Just think of me as a cartoonist."

Looking back I realize I had the perfect family background to become the political cartoonist that I became.

Douglas Murray

Some people feel that it's controversial if I say that because my dad is known as a political artist. But I don't really believe that he was a political artist. I think some of his songs were political, and I think they were incredible because he was able to make art that was political and that wasn't pedantic. But I think he was unique in being able to do that.

Sean Lennon

I guess I just don't have the killer instinct that I think makes a great political cartoonist.

Bill Watterson

I am an artist and a political being as well.

Robin Morgan

If you're a balanced cartoonist, you're not a cartoonist. You definitely have to have a bias.

I am an artisan. I only became an artist when people watch what I do. That is when it becomes art.

Rhys Ifans
