We tried to stay true to the Thunderbirds. We don't use any computers in this movie, it's all painfully real.
We ended up adding all these dimensions to Butters that I think were really great, ... He's always the kid that's worried his parents are going to ground him, but on the other hand he's got this other persona where he thinks he's this evil superhero, but even in that he does the most mundane things.
The problem is we moved to LA... The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.
None of the shows we've done in the last two or three seasons could have been shown on air back in 1997.
We thought he could pull it off and he would get it, and not cheese it up too much,
It's ... just going to be a total trip, and I'm just going to enjoy it, ... Because I'm sure I'll never be back.
It used to reflect a budget. Now 'independent film' means anything under $10 million. That's what people are saying now. But, that's not really true. I think independent films means you did everything independently.

A lot of people don't realize this, but probably the one person that gets made fun of in 'South Park' more than anybody is my dad. Stan's father, Randy - my dad's name is Randy - that's my drawing of my dad; that's me doing my dad's voice. That is just my dad. Even Stan's last name, Marsh, was my dad's stepfather's name.
When you were a teenager in Colorado, the way to be a punk rocker was to rip on Reagan and Bush and what they were doing and talk about how everyone in Colorado's a redneck with a gun and all this stuff.
