“It is a quirk of American culture that each generation of nonconservatives sees the right-wingers of its own generation as the scary ones, then chooses to remember the right-wingers of the last generation as sort of cuddly.”

“If you are serious about American culture and you are serious about Afro-American culture, you are in a lot of pain. You are not - you are not smiling about it.”

“Is there a sharper commentary on American culture and the world than The Simpsons?”

“There's so much diversity on TV. It's actually reflecting American culture.”
