(on the hoopla over homosexual slurs in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back") "Gay or straight has never been a big issue with me. Sex is sex, as far as I`m concerned. Some cats dig on the opposite gender, and some cats dig on their own. Sexual identity will always be as mystifying as why `The Dukes of Hazzard` was once the number one television show in our country: there`s no point in getting bent out of shape about it; it just IS. Some cats will always gravitate toward Daisy Duke, and some will always pine over Boss Hogg."
- Kevin SmithMy brother Jim and I saw our father go into the jails and pray with the inmates Sunday after Sunday. He prayed with both blacks and whites. If we ever repeated any slurs we heard on the playground, he`d tell us very softly, "I don`t want to hear those words."
- Charles MooreYou can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can`t answer slurs, but I`m here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn`t.
