“It's just that there's a certain group of people that are always going to be offended by anything.”

“Either it's all okay, or none of it is.”

“People who are easily offended should be offended more often.”

“We're not in the business of offending people. We're in the business of being funny.”

“I don't think you can be a good satirist if you're not an optimist.”

“We always just say, 'Is it funny?' That's the beginning and end of our litmus test.”

“Our show's a cartoon. We're not telling people what to think.”

“At the end of the day, it's just a cartoon.”

“You're either on the side of the people who are afraid of the joke, or you're on the side of the people who are telling it.”

“The way we do 'South Park' is... we try to make each other laugh. That's the only rule we have.”

“We always say that our starting point for a show is us being confused about something.”

“For us, it's about the joke. It's not about a political agenda.”

“One thing we've learned is that you can't go after everybody, because you're not going after anybody.”

“We've always been more libertarian. We're very anti-regulation.”

“I have a great family. I have a beautiful wife. I have a great life.”
