“That was a misconception among a lot of people - that Mormons are polygamist. No, they're not. I mean they obviously have that in their history, and there are some fundamentalists.”

“We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.”

“Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.”

“My fear is that, as soon as I get married and have kids that I'll kind of do what a lot of people do and suddenly start making, 'Now I'm gonna make films for kids.' I really hope I don't do that.”

“It's funny because I think a lot of it is simply... We've never considered ourselves satirists, but because we're on Comedy Central and because we're South Park on Comedy Central, we can do any topic we want.”

“It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.”

“The 'Beavis and Butt-head' movie was just a movie-length version of the TV show.”

“We (libertarians) find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.”

“Out of all the ridiculous religion stories - which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous - the silliest one I've ever heard is, 'Yeah, there's this big, giant universe, and it's expanding, and it's all going to collapse on itself, and we're all just here, just 'cuz. Just 'cuz.' That to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.”

“We created a brand for ourselves, so that now people can't get mad at what we do, because then they're just making of themselves.”

“I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.”

“If we have a great idea, we'll go, 'Oh, this could be a cool movie.' Or really for us, it's more like, 'Oh, this is a really bad idea. Let's do this. This seems really stupid.'”

“When you were a teenager in Colorado, the way to be a punk rocker was to rip on Reagan and Bush and what they were doing and talk about how everyone in Colorado's a redneck with a gun and all this stuff.”

“When you sit down and write a song, you kind of have the idea for the song, and you sit there at the piano and you kinda just write it. And then of course later there's some dinking around with it and changing some stuff.”

“Sean Penn's really the only one stupid enough to put anything down on paper.”

“My first serious girlfriend, when I was 16, was Mormon. I went to her house for 'family home evening,' and I was like, 'Why aren't you people ignoring each other and watching television?'”

“So much of what you see now in Hollywood is written and directed by committee, and you can see it.”

“Sometimes what's right isn't as important as what's profitable.”

“You know that everyone thinks that in order to do South Park we must be wild, crazy, rock and roll stars. But the truth is we're just wholesome middle-American guys. We enjoy soda pop, baseball and beating up old people just as much as anybody.”

“Jerry Bruckheimer creates comedy, he just doesn't realize because he's a turd.”
