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.

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.

I force people to have coffee with me, just because I don't trust that a friendship can be maintained without any other senses besides a computer or cellphone screen.

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

The situation in the film is like me going out to Venice Beach and talking to a homeless guy on the boardwalk, and 13 years later he's the president.

Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.
