Famous quotes by Norman Lear:

"This isn't the best time for America laughing at ourselves. I think political satire thrives much more at a time when we're in a mood to laugh at ourselves. The degree of political correctness has just gotten terrible."

"There is excess violence, excess sensationalism, excess sex. We are looking at an excessive culture, and to see the excess only in Hollywood is a mistake that lifts a branch to block out the entire forest. The endemic problem is the excess that flows from the corporate need to deliver a profit statement this quarter larger than the last at the expense of every other value. You see that clearly in Hollywood."

"Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker was a genius at work, God's gift to the world. He is etched permanently in our memories."

"All in the Family,"

"It will belong to the American people,"

"It looks a little nutty. It's hard to believe people pay any attention to it."

"It's a happy coincidence that when we bought the Fantasy catalog we were also able to sign one of the most relevant and talented singer-songwriters of our generation. We're all enormous fans of his music. He's a big hero here."

"I know a lot of white people who have a lot more money than I do."

"Edith, stifle yourself!"

"Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything."

"You're in the business - when you're a writer, producer, director - to get ratings."

"I stop and look at traffic accidents. I won't hang around, but when I hear something is terrible, as bad as it is, I've gotta look at it."

"Nobody doubts my partisanship, but a lot of the activity is nonpartisan."

"The trafficking of sex and violence is comes after the demand for ratings."

"So we gravitated to shows and issues and causes that made people care."

"I wanted to just do a one-act play for 26 minutes, with commercials at the beginning and end. For years, I couldn't get my way. They wanted to interrupt three times."

"Life is about having a good time, and it was a good time. We did some things well and some things poorly, but that was always the case."

"But you know, my dad called me the laziest white kid he ever met. When I screamed back at him that he was putting down a race of people to call me lazy, his answer was that's not what he was doing, and that I was also the dumbest white kid he ever met."

"TV that people will never see, that giant international corporations will never touch, will never pay your salary."

"At great, great remove sit the head of General Electric, the head of News Corp, the head of Viacom, or the head of this giant international corporation that wants these ratings."
