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.

When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.

Hollywood is just a bunch of people going around in Learjets to other people asking them if they've got any money? Well, they might have if they didn't spend it all on jets.

I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that.

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.

Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.

I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me, it was kind of a dark, depressing time.
