In America, to have news that has explicitly taken a position is a very strange place to be in, and it's a very dangerous place to be in.

I'm coming from a place where I have seen a different way to handle it, or a slightly different way to go through what is happening, that gives me some perspective. So I think it always helps. It always helps to have someone who has traveled the world or seen a different way to do something. That helps give you perspective.

If I could get an honest answer, I would ask Trump. How much money would you want in order to leave the presidency? Because I think he would have a number, strangely enough. Then we'd know how much to launch the Kickstarter for.
Trevor Noah
I do feel like I have a sense of the times. A lot of the things America is experiencing now, I feel like I have lived through. I think there is a cause for concern.
Trevor Noah
In an American context, let's say gay rights or marriage policy - that's a progressive thing. I understand that in an American context.
Trevor Noah
I don't think things are getting more insane. I do know that the country is more divided than it's ever been. Tensions in America are at their peak.

Whatever it was, my mom said, I'm going to seek out more. And so I was constantly confused, which is sometimes a little bit, you know, disorienting. But I feel like it leads to a way more colorful life.
Trevor Noah
Living with my mom, I saw how she used language to cross boundaries, handle situations, navigate the world.
Trevor Noah
I think all of us should seek help, and not help is in a - you know, help shouldn't be seen as a frightening thing. Help shouldn't be seen as a weak thing.
