My plan is to have a theatre in some small town or something and I'll be manager. Ill be the crazy old movie guy.

If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something.

Don't write what you think people want to read. Find your voice and write about what's in your heart.

Sometimes things need to get really bad before they can ever get better. Really bad can become untenable if enough people get sick of it. That was a big thing about why I ended up taking part in that rally [against police brutality] and ended up voicing my opinion and declaring what side I was standing on.

You name any horrific thing, and I can make a joke out of it.

When I'm writing something, I try not to get analytical about it as I'm doing it, as I'm writing it.

But the truth of the matter is, that was fairly, fairly early on in Goebbels' 800 movies that he made in Germany. The majority of them, especially once the war got going, you hardly saw Nazi officers in it at all. They were mostly musicals and comedies and melodramas and stories of great German men from the past.
