"We were the only ones interested in comedy. Everybody else wanted to be Martin Scorsese"

This quote by Matt Stone talks to the difficulty of pursuing a profession in funny in the early days of his and Trey Parker's career. It suggests that most of people in the entertainment industry were more thinking about ending up being the next Martin Scorsese, a prominent director, than in pursuing comedy. This quote indicates that Stone and Parker were outliers in their pursuit of funny, and that they had to battle against the tide of popular viewpoint in order to pursue their dreams. It also speaks to the power of their vision and determination, as they had the ability to go far for themselves in the comedy world in spite of the absence of interest from the majority of individuals in the industry. This quote is a testament to the power of following one's dreams, no matter how unpopular they may be.
