Famous quotes by Joel Gallen:

"The only precautions we have right now are for language."

"If anybody has those kinds of feelings or are tempted to do it, I believe that's where they are going to channel their feelings, to inspire people to donate and leave the politicizing at home."

"It wasn't that same unified, universal thing, ... Nobody governs this sort of thing. If other people want to do their own thing, they can."

"The first time, I thought, 'OK, great, I pulled it off, a once-in-a-lifetime thing. This will never happen again because there's only one 9/11,' ... Then cut to four years later."

"I think people know that politicizing will certainly not be a smart thing to do as far as inspiring people who want to call in and rally around this cause, which all of us in America are doing, not just the entertainment industry,"

"When I did this show four years ago, which was a very intense and emotional experience for me, I felt like that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience -- never thinking that four years later I would be asked to put something similar together again."

"They were very collaborative. They are easy to work with and understand the value of entertainment. It's not like dealing with people who only know football."
