I'm Not Putting Down Anyone That Does

I Don't Like American Football. I Think It's Boring And Ridiculous And Predictable. But Baseball Is Very Beautiful. It's Played On A Diamond.

I Have A Real Respect For Tobacco As A Substance, And It Just Seems Very Funny How The Western Attitude Is, "wow, People Are Addicted To This, Think Of All The Money You Can Make Off It."

I Like To Rehearse With The Actors Scenes That Are Not In The Script And Will Not Be In The Film Because What We're Really Doing Is Trying To Establish Their Character, And Good Acting To Me Is About Reacting.

It Meant A Kind Of Real Liberation Of Expression. It Embraced Amateurism In A Way That I Still Am Inspired By. It Was Not About Trying To Get, You Know, Stadium Gigs Or Even Commercial Radio Play Or Even Record Deals For That Matter. It Was About Saying Something 'cause You Meant It, And Expressing Something That You Felt. And That Was Primary For That - Whatever The Scene, Whatever Punk Rock Means, It Was Very, Very Important To Me, Very Formative.

If You Go Into A Bar In Most Places In America And Even Say The Word Poetry, You'll Probably Get Beaten Up. But Poetry Is A Really Strong, Beautiful Form To Me, And A Lot Of Innovation In Language Comes From Poetry.
