But you know, my dad called me the laziest white kid he ever met. When I screamed back at him that he was putting down a race of people to call me lazy, his answer was that's not what he was doing, and that I was also the dumbest white kid he ever met.

When I countered that Archie Bunker didn't have to put down a race of people to say that, he replied, 'and you're the dumbest white kid I've ever met.'

I was the laziest white kid my dad ever met.

My favorite TV couple is Edith and Archie Bunker. Because they were such individuals that I can't imagine anyone else playing them. And I think that Archie was one of the greatest characters ever on television. Even with his flaws, you loved him.

Michael Jai White

People see Archie Bunker everywhere. Particularly girls; poor girls, rich girls, all kinds of girls are always coming up to me and telling me that Archie is just like their dad.

Carroll O'Connor

You can't hold me to the same standard as the president or a school teacher. I'm just a comedian. My job is like Archie Bunker.

Tracy Morgan

I'm the laziest inventor you ever met. My inventing is in my head - I don't have to be in the lab working and sweating.

Woody Norris

The laziest man I ever met put popcorn in his pancakes so they would turn over by themselves.

W. C. Fields

Brad Pitt is older than Archie Bunker was in the first two seasons of All In The Family.

Unless you do an Archie and Edith Bunker, there's not much left In TV for husband-wife conversation.

Bob Crane

It used to be that people would watch TV shows because they knew the characters would stay the same. Whether it's Archie Bunker or it's Thomas Magnum you watch it because it's like, 'I'm comfortable, this is the same guy.'

Bryan Cranston

Maybe they continued to agree with Archie Bunker - as I said earlier, you can't change people's minds, but you can get them to think.

Norman Lear

When I was young, kids who were more Native American than me would call me 'white boy.' To my white friends, I was 'that Indian kid.'

Brady Jandreau

It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All in the Family,' but it was all in Carroll O'Connor's performance. You saw lack of intelligence, and you laughed.

Jason Bateman

I used to enjoy all the white bands when I was a kid listening to the radio. But the record companies, they take music and label it - like, they say "rock". Because the white singers can't sound like James Brown, they call him "soul". They've been doing that for years. That's the prejudice crap.

Miles Davis

There are plenty of good, rational, compassionate and talented conservatives who deserve a microphone and a platform. It's time to pass the baton to a new generation of leaders who don't speak - or think - like Archie Bunker.
