The Republican Party's typical position is to preemptively surrender whenever liberals start yelling 'Oh that's mean. You can't use that word': 'Oh I did not realize that 'The New York Times' made a finding that the term 'anchor baby' is offensive. Henceforth I shall not use it.'

I'm a right pain in the hole for my agent. I won't take certain parts if I think they're offensive or banal. For instance, I won't do a film if I think it's full of violence for violence's sake, or a television drama if I don't think it's intelligent writing.
I'm not the voice of reason; I'm more the guy using these offensive topics as fodder to raise tension in a joke.
I'm not just offensive, I'm very smart about the way that I do it, and that takes a lot of time. People say that young comics shouldn't be trying these things. That's ridiculous. You should try everything and see what sticks.

I think it's certainly important that we don't have symbols in our society that are offensive to a segment and that arouse racial division.
My thing of not playing offensive tackle is the health issue. I don't want to be that big. That could end up not being good for your health.
My imam at the Central Mosque said there was no problem with making music. In fact, he encouraged me - he said if the songs are moral, not offensive, then go ahead.
I have confidence in my players around me - my offensive line, my running backs, my wide receivers, and the defense and special teams.
