Trey Parker Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von 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.

The problem is we moved to LA... The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.

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

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

Trey Parker

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

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 try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.

Trey Parker

If you ever go to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, if you stay there long enough, you'll see a homeless person standing in the middle of their nice, beautiful square, holding out a cup for change. And the Mormons don't ever ask him to leave.

Trey Parker

I can feel myself dying inside.

Trey Parker

I think you could take any Bruckheimer movie and do it with puppets, and it would be screamingly funny.

Trey Parker

We created a brand for ourselves, so that now people can't get mad at what we do, because then they're just making of themselves.

Trey Parker

We're the guys who, if someone says you really shouldn't do an episode making fun of Scientologists, we say, 'Whatever.' Someone says, 'They might come try to burn your house down,' we say, 'We'll just get another one.'

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

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

No show would be successful if you took a group of people and just said, 'You're dumb!' over and over. That's not what Broadway's about.

Trey Parker

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.

Trey Parker

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.

Trey Parker

I have no desire to ever talk to Sean Penn.

Trey Parker

The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.

Trey Parker

I find Mormons adorable.

Trey Parker

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

Trey Parker

I don't want to say never, but I hope I don't become that 'take me seriously now' guy.

Trey Parker

When I was in sixth grade there was a talent show, and I wrote my first sketch, 'The Dentist.' I played the dentist, and I had my friend play a patient. It was sort of what can go wrong at the dentist, and I just remember I had lots of fake blood and everything.

Trey Parker

What we're always looking for is weird social issues and weird connections to make. Luckily for them, there's no shortage of material.

Trey Parker

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

Trey Parker

You can't make experimental work by copying past work.

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

You know, and it really doesn't have a lot to do with the movie. That's the trick to doing a good musical is that, if you take that music number out, there's less to the movie there. You would miss it.

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

I grew up with the religion of 'Star Wars,' frankly. That's when I realized there is something bigger out there... and it's called The Force.

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

So much of what you see now in Hollywood is written and directed by committee, and you can see it.

Trey Parker

Colorado's right next to Utah - you know, Mormon Central.

Trey Parker

We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.

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

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.

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.
