• Tenemos que convencer a la gente de que las limosnas -simplemente tomar unas pequeñas limosnas, donde tienes una vida de subsistencia, donde nunca creces, solo recibes un pequeño cheque y unos pocos cupones de comida, que te mantendrán en la plantación el resto de tu vida, eso no es una vida. Eso no es vivir. No es lo suficientemente bueno. No es aceptable. Tenemos que educar a nuestra gente en que eso ya no está bien. Hay que salir de la plantación, de la plantación del gobierno.

• While big corporations make huge, tax-free profits, taxes for the everyday working person skyrocket. While politicians take free trips around the world, those same politicians cut back food stamps for the poor. While politicians increase their salaries, millions of people are being laid off. I do not understand a government so willing to spend millions of dollars on arms, to explore outer space, even the planet Jupiter, and at the same time close down day care centers and fire stations.

• My mom always says, "Pack your smile," but [the sound guy] articulated it beautifully, because he saw me go from Joe Schmo who had been on food stamps to Adam Richman from Man V. Food. He said, "For you, it may be your 50th or 100th selfie, autograph, or whatever of the day. But for that person, it may be the first or the only time in their life that they've seen someone they enjoy on television. Never lose sight of that."

• No hay una sola agencia gubernamental que no pueda funcionar. Hay más dinero en este gobierno federal, hay más dinero asignado del que esta gente puede gastar. Tienen que inventar formas absurdas de gastarlo, como la publicidad para los nuevos usuarios de cupones de alimentos. He llegado a un punto en el que estoy tan indignado y ofendido por la idea de que nuestro gobierno pueda quedarse sin dinero cuando tenemos una imprenta, por el amor de Dios. Imprimió tres billones y medio de dólares en siete años e inundó Wall Street con ellos.

• Our role as artist is more controversial now because there are those, claiming the absolute authority of religion, who detest much of our work as much as they detest most of our politics. Instead of rationally debating subjects like abortion or gay rights, they condemn as immoral those who favor choice and tolerance. They disown their own dark side and magnify everyone else's until, at the extreme, doctors are murdered in the name of protecting life. I wonder, who is this God they invoke, who is so petty and mean? Is God really against gun control and food stamps for poor children?
