More quotes by Trevor Noah
I think we need to get rid of is improving our minds and our mental health. You know, when when you suffer from depression, you go this is something that I have and I can work on it, you know? I often think of depression, though, as more of a - as more of a symptom than a cause.

Donald Trump was appealing to a lot of people with his populist message.
Trevor Noah
You get help at the gym. No one complains about that. You get help from your trainer. That's commonplace, and I think we need to spend more time doing that with mental help. You know, a lot of us have issues that we don't work on and we don't deal with, and I try. I try my utmost.

When I first started doing comedy, there was no such thing as a room that had black people and white people in it. That didn't exist.
Trevor Noah
Even now in America, you know, when people say they hate immigrants, they're not referring to a Canadian immigrant. You know, they're not referring to somebody who has an accent who's slightly different to theirs.

There's news that happens in different spheres and can be made just as funny, but it's not necessarily in the normal news medium.
Trevor Noah
People should always be wary of that because the precedent is set. And it's so much easier to build on a foundation than it is something that doesn't exist. So you see it as something that's happening to people that are not you. And then it expands, and it expands further. And then, one day, you're on a registry.
Trevor Noah
Comedy is crowded. There are hundreds of comedians in every place in the world.
Trevor Noah
I don't think I, myself, am personally afraid. I do worry for the press, though, because Donald Trump has shown himself to be extremely thin-skinned. He does not take criticism well, nor does he appreciate reporting on his life.
Trevor Noah
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. And that's happening on Facebook, as you saw, and that's happening online. People are just being given their news and not the news, which is really, really scary.
Trevor Noah
If the police believed that they were planning any form of resistance against the state, then you were just gone. Nobody knew where you were, and you just hoped to see that family member again.
Trevor Noah
Those were the places where many people mixed if they wanted to mix, which was against the law [Immorality Act of 1927]. My mother was part of that group. My father was part of that group. People who were black and whites and Indian and Asian - and you came together and said, we choose to mix at the risk of being arrested. And so they did.
Trevor Noah
I've lived many places all over the world, so I've always seen myself as a citizen of the world.
Trevor Noah
I'm always fascinated when people say, We found rude conversations people had via e-mail. Why are you e-mailing this stuff? It has your signature on it! It has a time stamp!
