More quotes by Aaron McGruder

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
Aaron McGruder
You can't accuse the creator of The Boondocks, ... Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil and the government is lying about 9/11.
Aaron McGruder
Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
Aaron McGruder
I think there's a lot of good and bad to L.A. One of the things you have to consider is that you can, if you're lucky, make a decent living here. That's a big plus. That's pretty positive. The weather is OK.
Aaron McGruder
Obviously, there's a million things we're allowed to say on late-night cable that you're not allowed to say on a prime time broadcast.
Aaron McGruder
I cannot be made into the commentator for the unspoken black masses.
Aaron McGruder
I do the interviews and then I read about myself. I understand it and I get what it is. But there's so much stuff that I say, either jokingly or lightheartedly, that gets printed like I'm dead serious.
Aaron McGruder
