More quotes by Al Franken
My dad loved comedians, especially George Jessel, and he loved Henny Youngman and Buddy Hackett.
Al Franken
I've spent my entire career being a satirist.
Al Franken
I think if you're going to do a movie about Reagan, you do it about the fact that he created the huge deficit, that he armed the Mujahideen, that he armed Saddam, that he armed Iran, that he armed two-thirds of the Axis of Evil, and that he funded terrorists in Central America. He was, in my mind, a terrible president.
Al Franken
Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world.
Al Franken
I'm the New York Jew who actually grew up in Minnesota.
Al Franken
You have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its Mommy. And right-wing Republicans tend to love America like a child loves its Mommy, where everything Mommy does is okay. But adult love means you’re not in denial, and you want the loved one to be the best they can be.

If someone hacks your password, you can change it - as many times as you want. You can’t change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch they are definitely not a secret.
Al Franken
I do have a self-censor everybody does, or at least most who are not pathological do.
Al Franken
I believe people have a right to know what's going on with their information and how it's collected, how it's stored and who gets it.
Al Franken
Yeah, but you need an experienced radio veteran who is a liberal advocate. And there just hadn't been any radio that did that. And so they weren't trained - they had developed all these bad habits of being objective and balanced and stuff like that.
Al Franken
Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.
Al Franken
I'm sure I've devoted enough thought to Rush Limbaugh for one lifetime.
Al Franken
Too many people don't protect their smartphones with a password or PIN. I anticipate that Apple's fingerprint reader will in fact make iPhone 5S owners more likely to secure their smartphones.
Al Franken
I'm a perfectionist and if I start making changes, I'll never stop.
Al Franken
There's plenty of room for humor in politics, God knows, but it's a serious business.
Al Franken
When I first started writing for television in the seventies and eighties, the Internet didn't exist, and we didn't need to worry about foreign websites illegally distributing the latest TV shows and blockbuster movies online.
Al Franken
Russia has a strategy of creating the conditions that give rise to corruption, then exploiting that corruption to its own benefit.
Al Franken
Harvard's Kennedy School of Government asked me to serve as a fellow at its Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy. After my varied and celebrated career in television, movies, publishing, and the lucrative world of corporate speaking, being a fellow at Harvard seemed, frankly, like a step down.
Al Franken
I'm from the Vietnam generation. I didn't serve.
Al Franken
I want to reclaim 'liberal.' I'm a liberal, and I think most Americans are liberals.
