The last few years on ‘South Park’ we have done some of the riskiest things we have ever done, knowing it could kill the show, but we also know that’s what we have to do.

I think the neoatheists have set atheism back a few decades. And I'm a self-described atheist.

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

We are entertainers. We're trying to entertain people.

And there's a visceral fun in watching Team America and making it, like taking a puppet and throwing it against the wall. Because it's not CG, there's something funny about it.

It is like football with coaches, like, 'We're only going to think about the next game.' It is really true, all you think is, 'Okay, we have to make a good next episode.'

We've been around long enough and have been to enough award shows to know that it is easy to lose to Phil Collins at any time.
