I would rather die standing than live kneeling

I prefer to die standing than to live on my knees.

Life is an art, not a science. You make it up as you go along.

We have to go on until Islam is made as ho-hum as Catholicism.

Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.

You learn your limitations and then you try to work within them.

So let's talk about Islam the way we talk about everything else.

When activists need a pretext to justify their violence, they always find it.

Iwas a sculptor.Butthat'sreallydrawinga drawing you fall over in the dark, a three-dimensional drawing.

You always feel the drawing you are working on is the best you've ever done... I am only interested in the present.

Writers who drew, they all seemed to draw the same way. They managed to keep that childlike creativity in their line.

I believe everybody is creative, and everybody is talented. I just don't think that everybody is disciplined. I think that's a rare commodity.

I never know what to tell young people when they come here. It could never happen for anyone they way it happened for me. It was all an accident.

I am not afraid of retaliations. I don't have kids. I don't have a wife, no car, no credit. It may seem pompous, but I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.

Our job isn't to defend freedom of speech, but without freedom of speech we are dead. We can't live in a country without freedom of speech. I prefer to die than live like a rat.

You know, it's no accident that the great painters came from areas like Europe where there is a lot of clouds and rain, which begets color and subtle washes of tone. Most great graphic artists come from areas with prevalent sun, where line and shadow are paramount.

Try to distill the character of your subject. Understand how he moves, thinks, acts. It's difficult to put into words. Consider each drawing as a problem that did not exist before, and then try to solve that problem to the best of your ability. That i what caricature is all about
