Even great people are always slightly disappointing, which is generally what makes them interesting.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.

I do like to make people cringe. That discomfort, tension, embarrassment, pain - all of those things interest me, and not through some sort of masochistic or sadistic impulse.
