I'm totally deaf in my right ear, yeah.
From Michael Leunig
I became a cartoonist because I'd sort of failed at everything else, really. I mean, it was by default.
I see a lot of my children. They're around the house all the time on the farm, you know.
I just happen to believe that what's at stake in the early child's development is so vital and so important, and I think it is founded in the main, in the broad cultural sense, on the relationship between the mother and child.
Pursuit is a rather desperate act in itself. There's something kind of frantic about the notion of pursuit.
Happiness, it's a small thing - just a very little thing.
To live in the midst of suffering, which we do, we do, amid distress, and to keep some equilibrium in the midst of that - that would be happiness enough.
It's terrible the way words get attached to you like barnacles.
I have always loved contemporary dance, but it has always been a bit of a mystery to me. But choreography is very much like what I do when you are putting characters in frame on the page. It's so impressive what they do with their bodies. It's like painting: an abstraction.
The expressive body is not literal; it's very primal, and that's what I feel when I make the best of my work. It's coming from a primal place rather than an intellectual place.
