He has the funniest lines in the film. I am eternally grateful to him. (on President Bush)
Librarians see themselves as the guardians of the First Amendment. You got a thousand Mother Joneses at the barricades! I love the librarians, and I am grateful for them!
One thing I've learned about death threats is that they're great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That's really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.
I've always felt so grateful that I dropped out of school, that I never had to do a thesis. I wouldn't know how to organise and structure myself to film so that B follows A and C follows B.

Not many people gave us a chance for this little old lawsuit,
The Christian Mission does well ... and they have helped lots of homeless people. But the New Life Program cannot go on out there where we live ... I have thought hard about it, prayed hard about it, and talked to my grandfather about it. We cannot have this in our neighborhood.

It used to be if you worked hard and the company prospered, you prospered, ... Now, the company prospers -- but you lose your job.
The vast majority of the guns in the U.S. are sold to white people who live in the suburbs or the country. When we fantasize about being mugged or home invaded, what's the image of the perpetrator in our heads? Is it the freckled-face kid from down the street - or is it someone who is, if not black, at least poor?
What really went wrong is that General Motors has had this philosophy from the beginning that what's good for General Motors is good for the country. So, their attitude was, 'We'll build it and you buy it. We'll tell you what to buy. You just buy it.'
Bill Gates is worth $97 billion. Ninety-seven billion, that is equal to the net worth of 120 million Americans. How did he get that rich? He ain't that smart.
Every dog deserves to have its day in the spotlight.
