„I think that Ninja turtles are a classical example, who could not be have been there in the totalitarianism. They suddenly came and people started arguing: ‚But that´s not good for children, they fight there.‘ Those, who made them, would reply: ‚Oh no, they´re the examples of virtues like justice and truth and fight for the right thing.‘ I believe that it is good to know the Ninjas and would never ban my child to watch this kind of a program. We cannot present them just Krteček and just what´s the best and correct. It is right to let them watch the Czech good night stories, that are on a high artistic level, to make their own opinion, to help them create one, but not force them into anything.“

„There was Bolek Polívka as a guest acting god. And he would come on scene as a god and was quite on top of things. I was a dramaturge and we stired things up quite a lot for many Christian believers. I do believe too, but many people were so upset, they´d even write to us. There was like a thousand letters styled in a complete unforgiving manner. I´d write back to the senders, as I really was sorry. I would reply as follows: ‚It is not bad, but you see something bad, where there is none, a humour itself is not evil.‘“
