Bil Keane

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

I didn't always spell my name Bil. My parents named me Bill, but when I started drawing cartoons on the wall, they knocked the 'L' out of me.

I don't have to come up with a ha-ha belly laugh every day, but drawings with warmth and love or ones that put a lump in the throat. That's more important to me than a laugh.

High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

Shirley MacLaine said, You're so funny, then gave me a hug. Everything went white. I couldn't hear, I couldn't see. I thought I was going to pass out.
