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.

More quotes by Trevor Noah
My mother never stagnated in a place where she said, I have it all.
Trevor Noah
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
Donald Trump was appealing to a lot of people with his populist message.
Trevor Noah
My mother's always looking for answers. She's always searching for new information. I think she has a thirst for hunger that very few possess innately.
Trevor Noah
I've just come to realize I'm going to share my point of view. Some people won't like me for it. Some people will. I will work every day to be as honest as I can because I do believe that we're all trying to get to the same place. But various people have tricked us into believing that we are not. And I see America going into that space.
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
I guess that is the strange part of the human brain that people have studied for eons - is hatred and self-hatred. You can convince people that the problem is not coming from the top but is, rather, being created by the people who are being oppressed.
Trevor Noah
Here's one redeeming quality about Donald Trump. He's an equal opportunity offender.
Trevor Noah
I think it's despicable. I also think it's frightening that we seem to live through history over and over again. And I don't know if I'm the only one. I feel like, when you read through history books, you always judge those people in that time.
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
Smaller incidents in my life made me realize that language, even more than color, defines who you are to people.
Trevor Noah
I lived in a world where I didn't share the love for my stepfather that my mother shared for him. She married him.
Trevor Noah
Traveling the world I've learned that progressives, regardless of their locations, think in a global space.
Trevor Noah
Comedy is crowded. There are hundreds of comedians in every place in the world.
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.
Trevor Noah
When I wrote the book, I thought that I was the hero of my story. And in writing it, I came to realize over time that my mom was the hero. And I was, you know - I was just her punk-ass sidekick.
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!
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 always say to people, you know - someone goes, oh, well, what are you going to do about terrorist attacks and Muslims? We got to do something. And I go, don't let those in power trick you out of your freedoms by using your fear.
Trevor Noah
When you see someone as a human being, you begin to understand most people are doing what they believe is right. I ask myself, What if you were wrong? How would you want someone to engage with you?
