More quotes by Trey Parker
My dad was just a big Joseph Campbell nut.
Trey Parker
When you're superhot, you don't have the time to enjoy being superhot, because you're working your ass off. By the time we will actually have time to really go out and screw around, we won't be hot anymore.
Trey Parker
All the religions are super funny to me.
Trey Parker
My first serious girlfriend, when I was 16, was Mormon. I went to her house for 'family home evening,' and I was like, 'Why aren't you people ignoring each other and watching television?'
Trey Parker
It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.
Trey Parker
I was always a very happy, optimistic person.
Trey Parker
I have no desire to ever talk to Sean Penn.
Trey Parker
Living is having ups and downs and sharing them with friends.
Trey Parker
Careful?! Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a coat hanger while I was still in womb?
Trey Parker
When someone goes, 'Oh, this group is really pissed off at what you said,' there's not a piece of my body that goes, 'Sweet!' That means I did it wrong. I'm just trying to make people laugh.
Trey Parker
If we have a great idea, we'll go, 'Oh, this could be a cool movie.' Or really for us, it's more like, 'Oh, this is a really bad idea. Let's do this. This seems really stupid.'
Trey Parker
Bargaining makes you come up with the best ideas.
Trey Parker
I see Santa Claus and Joseph Smith and Luke Skywalker as the same person.
Trey Parker
Even from the very beginning, I didn't put any money in the stock market.
Trey Parker
Basically ... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous—the silliest one I've ever heard is, 'Yeah ... there's this big giant universe and it's expanding, it's all gonna collapse on itself and we're all just here just 'cause ... just 'cause'. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.
Trey Parker
Me and Matt love to argue, but in general our sense of humor is pretty much alike.
Trey Parker
No, writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny, because I remember when the South Park movie came out, there were some critics that said, 'Well it's obvious that in order to get it to be 90 minutes they filled some time with music.'
Trey Parker
I grew up with the religion of 'Star Wars,' frankly. That's when I realized there is something bigger out there... and it's called The Force.
Trey Parker
You know, and it really doesn't have a lot to do with the movie. That's the trick to doing a good musical is that, if you take that music number out, there's less to the movie there. You would miss it.
Trey Parker
I find Mormons adorable. I love Disneyland and old musicals, and, to me, Mormonism fits right in with all of that.
Trey Parker
