No politician would ever comment on a cartoon unless it was to show what a great sense of humour they have, that they can laugh at themselves.

I don't consider myself a political comedian because it's so hard. It takes time away from me saying terrible things about TV.

Jim Cameron is a feisty man and a perfectionist, but also absolutely brilliant.

We were against the war in Vietnam and for voter registration and social issues. Everybody has their choices, and the obligation of a comedian is first to entertain. And if you're so inclined, and you have some bigger thought, make sure you express it, because that's a gift.
