People think because 'Vice' is irreverent and because we're crazy, we're stunt journalists. You know what? I don't actually care.

I mean, we shoot differently, we cut differently, our stories are different . . . I'd say that every single thing is different except for the fact that you watch it on a TV or a computer or a phone, just like you do with everybody else's content.

The greatest propaganda coup of the American right has been to convince its citizens that we are in the grip of a liberal conspiracy.

You have to make those mistakes. You have to do the work. You have to fail. I also realized that I should practice what I preach, which is that if you only do get one kick at the can . . . When you go to places like Africa or Asia or the Indian sub-continent, you realize that a lot of the people there don't ever get a kick at the can. There are no "kicks" at the can - you just don't have that shot.

I always used to say that I wanted to be the next MTV, the next ESPN, the next CNN rolled up into one, and everyone would laugh at me. But now I think that people are finally wising up because, digitally, you can do that.

All I know is that when I go somewhere, I'm not an autobot. I am a human being. I am not an actor.

American media has just become talk radio, incredibly partisan name-calling and op-eds.
