More quotes by 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.

Nelson Mandela was in jail when I was really young, and Winnie Mandela was one of the biggest faces of the movement. In South Africa we have a common phrase - it's like a chant in the street and at rallies: Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo. Which means, You strike a woman, you strike a rock.

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
It was just how my parents treated me. It was the world they decided to show me. I was really sheltered. My grandmother kept me locked in the house when I was staying, you know, with the family in Soweto. And every household, for instance, had to have a registry of everyone who lived in that house.
Trevor Noah
I know that I cannot change the entire world, but I've always believed I can at least affect change in my 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
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
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
Donald Trump was appealing to a lot of people with his populist message.
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.
Trevor Noah
It's the reason the United States fell into the Patriot Act - because they were reacting.
Trevor Noah
[ My mother] went, OK, I've read the Bible. I've read the Bible again. I'm reading the Bible again. OK, let me - where does this Bible come from? What does this Old Testament speak - who are the Israelites? Who - what is Judaism? And then she went, and I'm going to study that. And, you know, she wanted to almost get to the core.
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.
Trevor Noah
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
I hope America manages to steer itself away from partisanship and back to patriotism we are all Americans. And as long as I can make people laugh and feel better, I'm happy.
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 lived my life as a - as a part-white, part-black but then sometimes-Jewish kid.
Trevor Noah
A lot of black people worked with the police as snitches. We used to call them bimpees where I grew up. And, you know, they were afforded special privileges. They may have been paid by the police. But you never knew who was informing on you. We lived either next door to or - two doors away from us was a known informant in Soweto.
Trevor Noah
Comedy is crowded. There are hundreds of comedians in every place in the world.
