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.

We don't need a two-party system. We need something else. Because at this point, the two-party system is really just a one-party system. And that one party is crumbling.

But I know that in Toronto and Vancouver there are all the comforts of America, and yet there's a difference in the people, and I had health care.

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.

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

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 know what the future holds. It seems to be going in a really bad, bad place really quickly, and I don't have the answers and I don't have the solutions and I don't know what's gonna happen to change it. But the continued apathy will only lead to a worse situation for everybody.

I think you have to play the game on every level. If you need a friendly, charismatic, good-looking guy to be the mouthpiece, then so be it. And maybe Ralph Nader should just be behind the scenes telling that guy what to say.

I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.

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.

You know, every time a summer movie comes out, people think they're gonna get rich off of the merchandise.

I just tell jokes, and I think a lot of people take it too seriously. It's not that I don't have things that I'm angry about in the world, and I think most decent human beings are upset about things, and even upset about things in their own country, but I'm not a particularly unhappy fellow.

Voting really doesn't mean anything. I wish I could say something different, but I think it's kind of a sham.

I think revolution is always a little bit possible. I think it won't look or sound anything like what we would expect. But I think revolution is very difficult, and I'm not optimistic for any kind of dramatic change.

Anyone with a gun can go out and commit an act of terrorism, even without a political affiliation.

I guess I was a conspiracy theorist when I said no weapons in Iraq. Now they call that history.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.

Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.

Don't get me wrong, it definitely ain't the Democratic Party either. They're so bad, I mean I'm actually starting to believe that John Kerry was just token resistance, that he literally was down with George W.Bush. It was just such a horrible, horrible, horrible thing to see, that campaign. So, you know, I don't know what's going on.
