“Book dedication To myself, without whose inspired and tireless efforts this book would not have been possible.”

Almost every cartoonist, when he’s sitting down to draw a funny face.

When I had independence, it was a constant battle within me to figure out when am I on my own.

I guess if people all followed the basic principles of their own religions, they would love everybody instead of hating half the world.

And also the insecurity that my life engendered, especially as a freelance cartoonist.

A lot of that we see today, where the Muslims are against the Christians and the Christians are against Jews and the Jews are against Arabs – I mean, it just it goes on and on and on.

When you live from freelance check to freelance check, your mind is always on “What’s the next piece I’m going to write, or draw, that’ll pay this month’s rent?” And so going out to play ball with my kids was a low priority.

I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.

I’ve always been multi-cultural myself. I’m not black and I’m not white and I’m not pink and I’m not green. Eartha Kitt has no color, and that is how barriers are broken.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

All through college, I had frequently been the only girl in a science class – which wasn’t such a bad deal.

It’s been our goal as a program to always give our players the best opportunity to be successful, whether it’s personally, academically, or athletically.

All my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.
