- 'I stand in judgement of the people I criticise' - Scarfe
- 'The current state of affairs in politics is almost beyond parody. It's more surreal' - Smith
- 'Some people (like Boris), are cartoons of themselves' - Scarfe
- 'Drawing politicians as animals is always good fun' - Scarfe
- Scarfe drew Churchill in The House of Commons in the 1960s; 'we the public had only known Churchill as the British bulldog on the cliffs of Dover'. Scarfe drew him as a 'Senile wreck'
- 'The whole point of being an artist, hopefully, is to tell the truth'
- 'A cartoonists image paints a thousand words that a writer would probably get sued for' - Smith
