More quotes by Tommy Chong
You look at Cheney, Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, and Bush - if you saw them on Halloween, they wouldn't need a costume. You'd give them a treat and compliment them on what great-looking demons they were. They are demons. There's no doubt about it.

Tommy Chong
Religion is run by thought police. 'Obey. Listen. This is what you do. Don't ask questions. Go die for your country.' The spirituality says, 'Okay, you can die for your country, but know what you're doing while you're doing it.'
Tommy Chong
I wish I could say farewell and retire but there is nothing for me to retire from.
Tommy Chong
I love to meet my fans, and after every show I usually hang out for a few hours, talking to my fans, signing autographs, and selling T-shirts.
Tommy Chong

Tommy Chong
More than anything, the weed really helped with my mental state, because marijuana works on the brain. And if anything, it soothes the brain.
Tommy Chong
There's a big shift in our whole way of living, and it started maybe 10 years ago when [smartphones] came into existence. Up until then, we were at the mercy of the press, and so-called experts that would tell us what to think and how to think.
