We've rewritten entire scenes and had them animated twelve hours before the show goes on the air. It's not fun.

We've had musical stuff in the show [South Park] forever. That's mostly because Trey's a big musical fan, and he's a great songwriter. He's been writing songs his whole life. So since the beginning, we've always put a lot of musical moments.

I'm a producer... I am a Hollywood producer. That is so weird. And it's not lame. But it's just like, how did that happen?

I would never want the show to be a Democrat show or Republican show, because for us the show's more important than that. It isn't for everybody else in the world, but it is for us.

Sometimes I wish I could get fired.

I'm concerned about people being happy.

I love to musicalize things. You do employ a whole level of gravity. You use the emotional heft of music.
