Edward Asner's quotes

• [on the history of American foreign policy] I also think that there is a strong streak of racism, whenever we engage in foreign adventures. Our whole history in regime change has been of people of different color.
• To my knowledge, there is no blacklist. But there is a mindset, even among liberal producers, that says, "He may be difficult so let's avoid him".
• Raising kids is part joy and part guerrilla warfare.
• [on law enforcement interaction with people with autism] They've got to assess the situation and respond accordingly, and hopefully, amicably treat sufferers from autism.
• [on his acting projects nowadays] I tour with a one-man show, and I do movies, if you're making them.
