People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
I was a teen star. That’s disgusting enough.
Death is a billion-dollar business. They can’t even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don’t you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver’s license? It’s totally insane.
Good actors can sort of see into people and immediately you have a chemistry with them or not. It’s like an affair with no mess.
It’s supposed to feel good to throw a brick at the right people. There is a long tradition of naming and ridiculing and shaming and calling the villains what they are. Usually it was the artistocracy of the day and satire was the only way to speak truth to power.
I was raised Catholic until I was old enough to say no.
Hopefully as you get older you get more selfless. That would be probably a good goal. I don’t know if we do, though.

There are some good people. But a good chunk of them will lie for no reason at all – it’ll be ten o’clock and they’ll tell you it’s nine. You’re looking at the clock and you can’t even fathom why they’re lying. They just lie because that’s what they do.
Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.
If you’re going to get into social criticism with absurdity and satire, you can’t be politically correct when you do that.
Once you have opened up prisoner interrogation, wiretapping, border patrol, jailing and the services of the military, when this has been turned into a for-profit business in this endless war, then we’re in deep trouble.
It’s a very frightening time when something as basic as due process is seen as somehow radical.
