More quotes by Al Franken
My dad never graduated high school. He was a printing salesman. We lived in a two-bedroom, one-bath house in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. We weren't rich - but we felt secure.
Al Franken
As a source of innovation, an engine of our economy, and a forum for our political discourse, the Internet can only work if it's a truly level playing field.

I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me.

Al Franken
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good.
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
My dad didn't graduate from high school, ended up being a printing salesman, probably never made more than $8,000 a year. My mom sold real estate and did it part time.
Al Franken
Minnesota has a proud tradition of having two Senators on the Ag committee - a tradition I'd like very much to continue.
Al Franken
At 'SNL,' I wrote political stuff, but I never felt the show should have an axe to grind. But when I left in '95, I could let my own beliefs out.
Al Franken
Let's keep the Internet weird. Let's keep the Internet free.
Al Franken
If you control the flow of information, you can control the conversation around important issues. If you can control the conversation, you can change this country.
Al Franken
I'm sure I've devoted enough thought to Rush Limbaugh for one lifetime.
Al Franken
For 35 years I was a writer. I wrote a lot of jokes. Some of them weren’t funny. Some of them weren’t appropriate. Some of them were downright offensive. I understand that.
