Jim Norton (II)

[On the cancellation of Lucky Louie by HBO] Jim Norton: I think it was a bad move for them. We had a good amount of viewers. I loved doing Lucky Louie. I just didn't like the critics.

[On political correctness] Jim Norton: People expect you to be funny, and yet they have all these little asterisks they put next to what you said. Or they want you to be funny, and yet not offensive. They don't want you to violate their political ideologies, their religious ideologies. So, I think that's the thing I hate more than anything, even more than the Religious Right, and the way they crush free speech. I hate political correctness. I think it really hurts comedy, and I think that people under the age of 25 are so caught up in it, they just don't realize what dumb [expletive deleted] robots they are.

[On why his comedic style is aggressive] Jim Norton: It's a part of who I am as a person. I am sick and tired of cute, adorable humor and non-threatening humor. It's irritating and I think you're not revealing anything. I think that's nuts and I think you're wasting your time.
