Quotes by Stephen Colbert

• You shouldn't listen to us at all if you're looking for information. We don't take ourselves seriously on any level; we're just comedians.
• I can't prove it, but I can say it.
• I don't like books, they're all fact, no heart.
• I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.
• I wrote things for the school's newspaper, and - like all teenagers - I dabbled in poetry.
• In order to be a top-tier candidate, I need 7.5 million dollars, and I currently have 0.0 million dollars.
• In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant. One motto on the show is, 'Keep your facts, I'm going with the truth.'
• Shamelessness is a wonderful part of the character.
• Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
