In USA culture is just a matter of commerce. So, you know, I don't really look for that, and I don't expect to find it in any city.

More quotes by Aaron McGruder
Voting really doesn't mean anything. I wish I could say something different, but I think it's kind of a sham.
Aaron McGruder
Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
Aaron McGruder
One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
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
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.
Aaron McGruder
I cannot be made into the commentator for the unspoken black masses.
Aaron McGruder
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
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.

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.
Aaron McGruder
And I'm not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.
Aaron McGruder
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
The American people have no control over what the military does. We have no say in American foreign policy.
Aaron McGruder
That's not saying there's not a bunch of good Democrats. I'm sure there's a lot of people who still haven't figured that out yet or simply don't want to have that pessimistic of an outlook, but I think the Democratic Party is completely worthless.
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
Fluid and energetic and wild very, very smart and very, very funny.
Aaron McGruder
We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He's really dumb.
Aaron McGruder
When the news is slow, or when there's just so many other responsibilities bearing down on me that I don't have the time to do it right, that's when it gets frustrating. As an artist, you just don't wanna put bad work out. So when you have to do it seven days a week, you're just gonna have some bad days and bad weeks and bad months and bad years.

Look at this Judith Miller thing. Isn't that problematic? Like, she's getting fed information from the White House and she's feeding it to her editors and then it's in the Times and then the people at the White House can quote themselves? And it's the New York Times!
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
It may sound weird, but I don't really look for culture, particularly in an American city.
