• I do believe that the collapse of the traditional media is catastrophic for our democracy, but I wasn't about to mythologize it. I understand its structural flaws, and the lies it tells, which are primarily, but not always, the lies of omission, and I wasn't going to leave that out. Knopf offered to publish the book but they said that an editor was going to "take out all the negativity," which, of course, I wasn't going to accept. I had been paid half my advance, and I had Nation Books buy the manuscript for that half.

• Sigo creyendo que en ese millón y medio de metros de película [Heaven's Gate] que rodamos, pensábamos que estábamos haciendo una gran película americana. Creo sinceramente que Michael [Cimino] estaba sometido a una enorme presión, y la respuesta de Michael a la presión, por lo que vi, fue redoblar la apuesta y volverse más agresivo y más arrogante, pero no creo que fuera real. Creo que fue la respuesta a la presión.

• In Vienna, when I was a year-and-a-half or two years-old. I remember it because I remember the little blue raincoat I used to wear, and how the buttons felt.

• So, it just seemed like it happened naturally. We nailed our live show to some extent in a year or about a year and a half, maybe just a year of playing songs pretty much around L.A. then we went and scheduled a mini-tour up-state on the West Coast and that's when the whole Rough Trade [Records] thing started happening and from there, things just happened so quick. It changed really quickly.

I've known John [Ficarra] for many years, and we've been friends.
