More quotes by Aaron McGruder
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
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.

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.

Perhaps it's time to start examining countries that have made democracy work while still having some kind of the same relationship in covenant with their population. Perhaps we need to look at the Scandinavian countries, or Canada, or something else, but whatever we have now, I think we just have to acknowledge, ain't workin.

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

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.

It may sound weird, but I don't really look for culture, particularly in an American city.
Aaron McGruder
I wonder what it means when your grandson is more crotchety than you are.
Aaron McGruder
I don't think the American government has a lot of respect for culture.

I think you should know that real-life white people are not all as funny as the ones on 'Seinfeld'.

Fluid and energetic and wild very, very smart and very, very funny.

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.

Fidel Castro just talked a long time, and he talked and he talked and he talked and he talked... and he talked during the meeting. I think it was about four hours. But I guess that's part of the Castro spirit.

Fame is not your friend. It ain't necessarily your enemy. It is what it is.
