Being popular with an audience is a very rickety ladder to be on.

There's been a lot of simple vilification of right-wing people. It's really easy to say, 'Well, you're Christian, you're anti-this and that, and I hate you.' But to me, it's more interesting to say, 'What is this person like and how do they really think?'

Most people are dead. Hitler. Ray Charles. Some other guys. But mostly those two.

If you do something and people think you're stupid, just go for crazy. You get more respect that way because nobody likes stupid people.

Cars and cameras are the two things I let myself be materialistic about. I don't care about other stuff.

Race doesn't mean what it used to in America anymore. It just doesn't. Obama's black, but he's not black the way people used to define that. Is black your experience or the color of your skin? My experience is as a Mexican immigrant, more so than someone like George Lopez. He's from California. But he'll be treated as an immigrant. I am an outsider. My abuelita, my grandmother, didn't speak English. My whole family on my dad's side is in Mexico. I won't ever be called that or treated that way, but it was my experience.

Most Americans have so much crap, that you could lose most of it and still have way more stuff than the average Canadian.
