I love political cartoons from the 19th century, and whenever I complete a piece of acting work that I'm particularly proud of, be it a film or play, I treat myself to a picture by caricaturist James Gillray.

English Actress

Martin Landau

I was being groomed to be the theatrical caricaturist. And I know if I got that job, I'd never quit. So I quit. I knew I wanted to go into the theater... I wanted to act.

American Actor

Frank Miller

As a cartoonist, I'm a caricaturist. First you find out what somebody really looks like, and then you find out what they 'really' look like.

American Artist

Steve Breen

My favorite caricaturist is Al Hirschfeld. I'm always trying to give my caricatures that streamlined quality - and I often fall short.

American Cartoonist

David Cross

I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.

Caricaturists often aim to amuse people with their drawings, not to provide accurate portraits.

Humor Essential

Key features are exaggerated to create a distinct representation that is easily recognizable.

Exaggeration Key

Caricatures are not intended to offend but to offer a playful take on a person's appearance.
