"What I like about the American thing is it's a lot more bloodthirsty and there's a lot more treachery. It's broken hearts, love doesn't work quite so well."

In the 50s, Chuck Berry wrote things that were so good they could've been part of the Harlem Renaissance, and he taught my whole generation. They're all influenced by Chuck Berry—Bob and the Beatles and everybody—cause he made stories in words that flowed effortlessly. And his stories were great.

Rogers gave 'Alaska' the acoustic treatment, surrounded by a string quartet and slowing the song's tempo to folk-tinged crawl, providing a luxurious, introspective rendition.

I can understand why people would have that reaction because CBS or the parent corporation - I'm not going to say who made that decision, because I don't know; no one's ever going to tell us - decided to cut a check for $16 million to the president of the United States over a lawsuit that their own lawyers, Paramount's own lawyers, said is completely without merit.

I understand the fear that you and your advertisers have with $8 billion at stake, but understand this: Truly, the shows that you now seek to cancel, censor, and control-a not insignificant portion of that $8 billion value came from those fucking shows-that's what made you that money.

CBS has canceled 'The Late Show,' stating that the current season will be its last and that the franchise will be retired entirely. Stephen Colbert is deemed irreplaceable in this decision.
