A Quote by Doug Stanhope

Controversial issues are always more interesting but I don't create material about a subject I have opinion on just because it's controversial. The most fun is having a point of view that the audience is generally against and presenting an argument that challenges their thinking.

My work has always been controversial within certain segments of the Asian-American community.
