I definitely think we get a lot of respect for what we do, but I definitely think that some people don't like us, which is fine.
I'm concerned about people being happy,
Even celebrities, most people have a sense of humor. Most of the people we meet who we've done on the show, like it.
We are entertainers. We're trying to entertain people.
The culture is just so coarse that you have to take it to that level and people will be like, 'Whoa!' And then you can make people think about stuff. It's kind of like shock therapy.

We were the only ones interested in comedy. Everybody else wanted to be Martin Scorsese.
This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology. He has no problem--and he's cashed plenty of checks--with our show making fun of Christians.
