More quotes by Trevor Noah

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
If you look at this election, I feel like Donald Trump was speaking a different language to Hillary Clinton.
Trevor Noah
When you are honest in your comedy, you have to acknowledge the world that you're in. Through a comedic voice you're talking about what needs to be talked about, whether it's race relations or politics or anything that's happening on a global or an American scale.

Our go-to source is no longer dictated by a small group of cable news outlets. We have to expand our view. Sometimes, a story is made and breaks on Twitter. We have to find a way to react to that, to consume and also disseminate the information from Twitter, which is not an easy thing to do.

Trevor Noah
If you can't trust your president to get the right information on a Googleable fact, then can you really trust him with the harder stuff? Which, by the way, is everything else the president of the United States has to deal with.
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
My mother never stagnated in a place where she said, I have it all.
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
Smaller incidents in my life made me realize that language, even more than color, defines who you are to people.
Trevor Noah
America is dealing with the effects of an underreaction to Donald Trump when he was running and when he was Mr. Saying-Racist-Things-on-the-News.
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 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
My mother converted, my mom converted to Judaism.
Trevor Noah
I think it was something I inherited from my mother, who learned to do it. You know, I, like a baby duckling, was merely mimicking the survival traits that my mother possessed. And I came to learn very quickly that language was a powerful, powerful tool.
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
One of the people from my online team said he didn't notice - almost immediately after the [Donald] Trump victory within the following days, he noticed that there was a severe spike in hateful messages that were coming towards me.
