Quotes

  • To get a standing ovation, and then hear the booing, I just knew the box office was going to go through the roof. It sounds philistine, but I could hear the cash register ringing in my head. [on Bowling for Columbine (2002) winning an Academy Award]
  • I want to break the Front Page Challenge record of 37 years with 22 Minutes. After season 38, we will have a wrap party. We play the role of the fool and we constantly remind ourselves of that.
