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.

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

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.
Aaron McGruder
I think you should know that real-life white people are not all as funny as the ones on 'Seinfeld'.
Aaron McGruder
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
And I'm not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
Aaron McGruder
Whether the Republicans intentions are good or evil - I pretty much assume that they're evil - but no matter what, man, when the people in charge make giant mistakes, everyone suffers. Even if they do have good intentions, when you make giant mistakes, it's a bad thing.

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.
