No, writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny, because I remember when the South Park movie came out, there were some critics that said, 'Well it's obvious that in order to get it to be 90 minutes they filled some time with music.'
Even from the very beginning, I didn't put any money in the stock market.
I have no desire to ever talk to Sean Penn.
I hate puppets so much.
Hippies, hippies... they want to save the world but all they do is smoke pot and play frisbee!
The problem is we moved to LA... The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.
The truth is, marijuana probably isn't going to make you kill people. Most likely isn't going to fund terrorists, but pot makes you feel fine with being bored and it's when you're bored that you should be learning a new skill or some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you're not good at anything.
I think that parents only get so offended by television because they rely on it as a babysitter and the sole educator of their kids.
To me, every episode is like a song, and every season is like an album. There's that part of the day when you first get the idea and you say, "This could be really funny." And you sit down and you write it. There's just something that happens there that doesn't happen when you really give it a lot of time beforehand.
When you sit down and write a song, you kind of have the idea for the song, and you sit there at the piano and you kinda just write it. And then of course later there's some dinking around with it and changing some stuff. But there's this thing that happens when the song first comes out, that sort of magic when it first comes out of the ether, and you can't even really explain where it comes from. That happens so much with music, and people understand that with music. But I really think that a lot of movie and TV should be the same way.
I see Santa Claus and Joseph Smith and Luke Skywalker as the same person.
My first serious girlfriend, when I was 16, was Mormon. I went to her house for 'family home evening,' and I was like, 'Why aren't you people ignoring each other and watching television?'
Living is having ups and downs and sharing them with friends.
We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.
