Trey Parker quotes about
We're not ashamed of our bodies, ... This event is the most important thing in the world.
The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.
When you're watching 'Armageddon,' and the Aerosmith song starts... Super funny.
We made this really dumb decision to put on the cover nothing from South Park but just a real life photo of a piece of pooh dressed up like Mr. Hankey, and a lot of people didn't, they didn't even know what it was.
How many times have you been watching an episode of 'South Park' and thought, 'I'd like to be able to watch this on my television while hooked into my mobile device, which is being controlled by my tablet device which is hooked into my oven, all while sitting in the refrigerator?'
Colorado's right next to Utah - you know, Mormon Central.
I was a big Broadway fan for a while.
I've gotten to a point where I wouldn't direct someone else's material. It would only be something totally original.
We have it, we're lucky enough that we've created a show where it's not about... a family, or a kid, it's about a town.
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.
I've never met a Mormon I didn't like. They're really nice people. They're so Disney. They're so Rodgers and Hammerstein.
When I was a kid, to me, the Evergreen Players were the big time.
Doing a musical is like having a kid. It's out there alive somewhere. It's not like a movie or a TV show where what we intended is what everyone will see. The kid can act out. The kid's going to do what it wants to do.
Out of all the ridiculous religion stories - which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous - the silliest one I've ever heard is, 'Yeah, there's this big, giant universe, and it's expanding, and it's all going to collapse on itself, and we're all just here, just 'cuz. Just 'cuz.' That to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.
