QUOTES

I still do not understand how a corporation can have person-hood if it has no soul and never dies.

I can't tell you how many times we'll run into a journalist and go, "Boy that's…I wish we could be saying that. That's exactly the way we see it and that's exactly the way we'd like to be saying that." And I always think, "Well, why don't you?"

For me it was just exciting to see fake news catching on like that... I think we don't make things up. We just distill it to, hopefully, its most humorous nugget. And in that sense it seems faked and skewed just because we don't have to be subjective or pretend to be objective. We can just put it out there.

I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care about.

I have great respect for people who are in the front lines and the trenches of trying to enact social change.
