Host : In a way, I've been waiting all my life to ask this. George Carlin, what is your favorite curse word?
[pause]
George Carlin : [after consideration] Motherfucker.
-

George Carlin : Reading about language.

Host : How did writer/director Kevin Smith decide that George Carlin was the only person who could play Cardinal Ignatius Glick?
George Carlin : Kevin came to me and he wanted me to play this. He said "I wrote this part, this character, with you in mind, and would you look at it?" So that got me into this... minor repertory company of... of Ben's, which is... where-where these folks show up a lot and that was my first one and I've done three now.
-
George Carlin : I once told Kevin, I said "Kevin, I want you to know something. If you ever need a character to strangle six children, give me a call." Because I can do that character, and I can surprise a lot of people.

George Carlin : [Jack Burns and I] felt that we should go to Hollywood. We should go to Hollywood and become a comedy team in nightclubs. Eight months later, we were standing in NBC's building doing The Jack Paar Show as "Burns & Carlin", about six months established. I can't explain the kind of breaks that have come my way and that are out there. Dreams come true. Dream your dreams, and massage them, and you'll live them out. I'm telling you, it works.
