Careful?! Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a coat hanger while I was still in womb?

Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.

I almost bumped into Alec Baldwin and then turned around and Paris Hilton was standing there. And I was like, 'Look, it's stupid spoiled whore.'
Trey Parker

I spend shockingly little time thinking about real-world stuff.
Trey Parker

I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I'd let them watch something like 'Full House' that I think would make them stupid.
Trey Parker

I would never kill somebody, unless they pissed me off.

If we have a great idea, we'll go, 'Oh, this could be a cool movie.' Or really for us, it's more like, 'Oh, this is a really bad idea. Let's do this. This seems really stupid.'
Trey Parker

In terms of the creative side of it, it's really been a thing where you come up with the funny stuff is usually at a bar or out talking to people or whatever.
Trey Parker

It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There's lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual... They don't care about anything else.
Trey Parker

It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.
Trey Parker


It's funny because I think a lot of it is simply... We've never considered ourselves satirists, but because we're on Comedy Central and because we're South Park on Comedy Central, we can do any topic we want.
Trey Parker

It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.
Trey Parker

It's this simple law, which every writer knows, of taking two opposites and putting them in a room together. I love anything with Cartman and Butters at the same time, it's great.
Trey Parker

Jerry Bruckheimer creates comedy, he just doesn't realize because he's a turd.
Trey Parker

Me and Matt love to argue, but in general our sense of humor is pretty much alike.
Trey Parker

My favorite musical? I don't. It changes all the time. I'm just a diehard, I'm totally old school, like I'll sit and watch, if they are re-doing Oklahoma in New York, I will be the first one there.
Trey Parker

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.'
Trey Parker

Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.
Trey Parker

Sean Penn's really the only one stupid enough to put anything down on paper.
Trey Parker

So we're considering doing a new Christmas album, because there's been Christmas episodes since then, and maybe finally do the version of "The Most Offensive Song Ever" with lyrics intact.
