I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear. The insecurity that you feel, and the paranoia that you feel, have been around for a long time - you know it's a liar because it's been lying to you all along - every time you start something new.

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

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

I just love the process of working with other actors.

Satire is meant to have teeth; satire is meant to be dangerous. But it also happens to be fun because subversion and telling the right kind of people to go to hell is supposed to feel good.

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?

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.
