I don't want the news to be patriotic. I don't want to see flags on the lapels of the anchors. I don't want any of that.
Aaron McGruder
Meeting Fidel Castro was really cool. It's cool because it's Fidel, and it's a world leader, and there's so much history behind the man and who he is in this hemisphere. And then at the end of the day, he's, I think, just like a big mayor. There's only, like, 11 million people in Cuba. He's a big mayor.

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.

I'm not crazy impressed with New York. I mean, I don't buy into that whole thing: Everyone in New York is all sophisticated, and they're into art and sophisticated things, and everyone in L.A. is just shallow entertainment people. I think people are just shallow across the board.

I don't think the American government has a lot of respect for culture.
Aaron McGruder
I think the two-party system is a complete sham I think it is designed so that the voters can feel like they have the satisfaction of throwing those bums out of office every four to eight years, but without the direction of the country ever significantly changing.

I cannot be made into the commentator for the unspoken black masses.
Aaron McGruder
I think you should know that real-life white people are not all as funny as the ones on 'Seinfeld'.

At least when I was young, in high school: Eh, voting doesn't mean nothing. You don't really know that to be true, you just say it. Then you get older, and responsible, and you go, Oh heck, let me vote. And then you vote and you go away. I was actually right when I was 16.

I think, being a public figure - which, I have to admit, I guess I'm largely responsible for, in terms of going out and putting myself out there - comes with its own burdens, and its own things that cause you stress, and its own worries.
Aaron McGruder
It may sound weird, but I don't really look for culture, particularly in an American city.
Aaron McGruder
The American people have no control over what the military does. We have no say in American foreign policy.

I'm actually kind of angriest about the fact that everybody keeps saying how angry I am.

Fame is not your friend. It ain't necessarily your enemy. It is what it is.
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
Good satire goes beyond the specific point it’s trying to make and teaches you how to think critically. Even after your favorite cartoonist retires or [Stephen] Colbert wraps it up, you’re not left believing everything they’re telling you.
