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

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.

I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. I am my own entourage!

A lot of people know that something very drastic has happened to the very idea of America.

My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I'm ahead or behind the curve, that's for others to decide.

Texas women have an amazing sense of purpose when they lose it. They're the best girls in the world - they're loyal and fun, but when they get mad, they'll try to kill you.

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.
