“Try to imagine an America without rich people. Rich people contribute a lot to this country.”

We in the press like to say we’re honest brokers of information, and it’s just not true. The press does have an agenda.

Except for talk radio, liberals pretty much control the culture.

I don’t believe all rich people are selfless philanthropists.

I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.

Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts.

I admire Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly a lot because I think they’re standup guys.

I didn’t say one negative word about poor people or about middle-class people or anything else. All I said was that the rich deserve our gratitude.

I don’t think liberals in the media are really that much different from liberals outside the media.

The big 3 networks don’t like the fact that there’s a Rush Limbaugh out there, they don’t like the fact that there’s a Fox News, they don’t like the fact that there’s a Matt Drudge. They liked it when it was nice, when it was just the three of them. Well, it ain’t that way anymore.

As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus probably would be, except for one or two issues, a liberal Democrat if he were around today.

The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone.

Journalists love to show their compassion.

A lot of so-called rich, according to this legislation, make $250,000. That’s a lot of money, but it is not rich.

The most meaningless term in the English language is “I take full responsibility.” When a politician utters those words it means absolutely nothing.

Circumstantial evidence is evidence.

You know, I was at CBS News for 28 years. I may have run an unidentified source. Frankly, I don’t remember.

I have a life and do a lot of things, and so far my work has been my life.

There’s a lot of different ways that a song would be a challenge to parody.

I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.

There are white n*ggers. I’ve seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.

A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but I don’t trust reading the scripts that much.

We had the same mentality – politically, and in a lot of other different ways.

A lot of acting is private time.

And I didn’t think about the material as much. But sometimes I’ve thought about the material a lot and thought I was doing the right thing, and it didn’t work out.
