Quotes by Mike Judge

I dont get as much fan mail as an actor or singer would, but when I get a letter 99% of the time its pointing out something that really had an impact. Like after My Own Private Rodeo all these people wrote to me and said Dales dad inspired them to come out. And this was when it was still illegal to be gay in Texas and a few other states. Another one that really stuck with me was this girl who survived Columbine. See, Wings of the Dope, the episode where Luannes boyfriend comes back as an angel, aired two weeks after the shooting. About a month after that, I got a letter from a girl who was there and hid somewhere in the school when it was all going on. She said the first thing she was gonna do if she survived was tell a friend of hers she was in love with him. She never did. He ended up being one of the kids responsible for it. So you can imagine how - you know, to her, it felt wrong to grieve almost, and she bottled it up. But she saw that episode and Buckley walking away at the end and something just let her finally break down and greive and miss the guy. I remember she quoted Luanne - I wonder if hes guardianing some other girl, or something along that line, because she never had the guts to tell the kid. That really gets to people at Comic Con.

One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically, stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York.
