“OK, I can say some more about the video. I got a new analogy for you about it. It's like R. Kelly's 'Trapped in the Closet,' meets Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' ... But with the prologue and epilogue still taking place on the Internet. And I'm being completely serious. Wrap your mind around that.”
Pete Wentz
“The metaphor of the melting pot is unfortunate and misleading. A more accurate analogy would be a salad bowl, for, though the salad is an entity, the lettuce can still be distinguished from the chicory, the tomatoes from the cabbage.”
Carl N. Degler
“I just like to use the football analogy. I'm the head coach and my job is to direct the team down the field and throughout the game. But Vern and Todd are the star quarterback and the star defensive player. And Tracy is the all-conference player and my directors are the all-conference players. So it's very much a team-oriented thing. But yes, ultimately I'm the guy who has to decide what we cover and when.”

“This is analogous to what is colloquially known as being punch drunk, ... We believe the microscopic changes in the brain are consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy or a degeneration over time that set the stage for the final result. The meningitis was not bacterial or viral or the kind you see in college dorms or army barracks.”
Cyril Wecht
“There are feminist analogies in the material. They find their power with and in each other.”
Will Scheffer
“[The Wyman Institute is urging the three entertainers to publicly retract their] inaccurate and hurtful ... Such analogies pollute public discourse, by trivializing the brutal horrors committed by the Nazis. Hitler was a maniacal dictator whose regime systematically annihilated six million Jews, and launched a world war that caused the deaths of more than forty million people. How can any reasonable person put Hitler and the Nazis in the same sentence as American or Israeli leaders, or black conservatives?”
Rafael Medoff
“Johnny's a flamboyant guy because he makes different analogies. There's certain analogies that could be more appropriate than others. At the right moment, we'll certainly address that.”
David Raith
“We have talked to Johnny. Johnny is a flamboyant guy. He makes certain analogies. There are some that are more appropriate.”
