"Comedy is a blood sport. It flays the truth and spurts twisted logic. In America, people become comics because we don't have bullfighting."

Previous Quote

I don't believe that anyone connected with bullfighting would deny that what happens in the ring has an element of suffering and perhaps cruelty to it. So then it comes back to whether the suffering and cruelty is justified by its place in a tradition that has deep roots in the culture. At present, the view in Catalonia apparently is that it does not.
