Certainty is a cruel mindset. It hardens our minds against possibility.

The future will soon be a thing of the past.

God was treated like this powerful, erratic, rather punitive father who has to be pacified and praised. You know, flattered.

I love playing villains. When you're a bad guy, you get to do many real nasty things. It's a lot of fun.

There will be hoards of vampire bats descending on Beverly Hills.... We'll see if they can find any real flesh to puncture. I don't know.

We have a lot of trans friends. We know lots of people who have been trying to [model]; we know a lot about it.
