Communication

“My approach is to produce pictures with as little ambiguity as possible, even when they might seem ambiguous.”

“I don't like art that is too much intellect. I like it to speak to my heart, my reason.”

“I favour a direct style to convey messages that speak to everyone.”

“There is lots of room for idealism and passion in journalism.”

“Ich wollte am liebsten alles in einem Satz sagen, nicht in zwanzig.”

“We're like a nation's kidney. We help everyone metabolize not just facts but feelings around facts or ideas. And jokes are just a shorthand for all of that.”

“It's not about delivering certainly bad news, but even just engaging with those anxieties and engaging with them honestly, and just laying them out there, and that can be done in a fun way.”

“It’s me. I don’t know how else to put it!”

“Pourquoi les libraires ne cessent-ils de vouloir des préfaces, et pourquoi les lecteurs ont-ils cessé de les lire ?”

“My heart is in telling stories. And it's like therapy for me.”

“البلاغة بلوغ المعنى، ولما يطل سفر الكلام”

“Just as lyrics in songs are meant to be sung, not read on a page.”

“We're like a nation's kidney. We help everyone metabolize not just facts but feelings around facts or ideas.”

“Tout flatteur Vit aux dépens de celui qui l’écoute.”

“There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas.”

“People don’t buy what you do—they buy why you do it.”

“Expression is the ornament of meaning.”

“My name is Hasan Minhaj. I am a Muslim, and I condemn radical Islamic terrorism. That has nothing to do with anything. I just want that on the record. It is good to get ahead of these things.”

“Si vous voulez plaire, il faut connaître l’âme populaire.”

“Yes, I use a great many quotations; but they are illustrious and true, and, if I am not mistaken, they convey authority pleasurably.”
