I think the greater responsibility, in terms of morality, is where leadership begins.

I get a kick out of the fact that people will pick on the writers in California for being responsible for the content. The people seriously responsible for the content are the people who buy it.

There was no real controversy with All In The Family. That came from the people on the business end.

We mocked that concept ['movies are better than ever'] by doing a sketch that was about a theater trying to get one customer to come in...and that customer was Jerry Lewis. It generated so much controversy that Dean [Martin] and Jerry [Lewis] had to apologize in a full page ad in Variety.

We are a country of excess. So it's not the violence, per se, but the exacerbation and constant repetition.

I was the laziest white kid my dad ever met.

In this nation, leadership is dollars.
