I think everything has some politics to it. It's just whether or not it admits to it. Politics is weird. I don't even know what that means any more.

It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God, look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too, but for me, they're, like, entire movies. And they show them on cable.

If you're going to get into social criticism with absurdity and satire, you can't be politically correct when you do that.

It's a very frightening time when something as basic as due process is seen as somehow radical.

I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A., and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.

If you're a movie star, there's a cycle you go through: adoration, adulation, you're used, and then you're discarded. And it happens again and again, always in that sequence.

People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
