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.
There are good characters and bad characters.
We are entertainers. We're trying to entertain people.
The pride of the hipster food movement is sort of annoying, but it fascinates me.
Anything you do to lose weight should be as easy as it can possibly be and still deliver results.
I'm a producer... I am a Hollywood producer. That is so weird. And it's not lame. But it's just like, how did that happen?
I would never want the show to be a Democrat show or Republican show, because for us the show's more important than that. It isn't for everybody else in the world, but it is for us.
I went to a couple Academy Awards parties and I was definitely like, 'Whoa, no one will talk to me.
It's the business of movies, it's the fights that go along with the level of budget, and more than anything, it's the creative constipation of having to live with one idea for two or three years. It's just not that fun.

We've rewritten entire scenes and had them animated twelve hours before the show goes on the air. It's not fun.
I love to musicalize things. You do employ a whole level of gravity. You use the emotional heft of music.
