This book, 'Stupid White Men,' has sold now over four million copies worldwide. Probably about half of that may be in the U.S. and Canada, and the rest, overseas.

[Librarians] are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.
I see the show as (a cross between) the World Wrestling Federation and C-SPAN. If you can kind of imagine those two together, that's what we're doing.
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.
When I'm shooting a movie, I'm always in an invisible theater seat. I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.
