Quotes

• “Work in the fields? Senator, I'm a house nigga.”
• “Jesus is great — is there a better role model? No. It's religion, it's the people who get in between — the bureaucracy, you know. ... It's the way people abuse Jesus. Was there ever a greater victim of name dropping?”
• “We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, that's not cowardly. Stupid maybe, but not cowardly.”
• “I think we need to change that old saying, "I don't need a building to fall on me." Because two did and we still don't get it. I think we all stick our head in the sand as a deep human impulse.”
• “Let's make a law that gay people can have birthdays, but straight people get more cake — you know, to send the right message to kids.”
• “If I thought the Lord was speaking to me I'd check myself into Bellevue, and I think you should too.”
