Rick Sanchez quotes

“I grew up not speaking English, watching my father every day working in a factory, washing dishes, driving a truck. I was constantly told that I can't do certain things in life justbecause I am Hispanic.”

"Everyone who runs CNN is very much like John Stewart, and many of the people who run all the other networks are very much like Stewart and imply that people in this country who have Jewish roots are an oppressed minority? Yeah."

These phrases of Rick Sanchez played a defining role in his life: because of the first, he became the person he is now, because of the second, he was fired, but resonated in the souls of the audience, conquering them with honesty.
