I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.

I just didn’t want to get out there anymore; I didn’t want to get back into what I call ‚the swamp.‘ And the other reason why is I don’t think it’s good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama’s got plenty of critics – and I’m just not gonna be one.

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

I can’t think in terms of journalism without thinking in terms of political ends. Unless there’s been a reaction, there’s been no journalism. It’s cause and effect.

I think the idea of art kills creativity.

I make pop culture.

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

Really I don’t like human nature unless all candied over with art.

I never ask anyone else’s opinion. They don’t count.

Let’s be honest. Canada wasn’t ever cool.
