There's not much room for eccentricity in Hollywood, and eccentricity is what's sexy in people.

I find Hollywood really toxic.

It's also that comedians don't have the kind of narcissism that actors have. They're writers who perform their own material. It's more interesting. And they're sexy because they risk more. Stand-up comedians risk more than anyone.

We thought we would just feel sorry for these people, and that would have been patronizing, ... They had great material poverty but great spiritual wealth, it seemed to me.

I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.

People still kill in the name of religion. We haven't evolved to the point where we're one tribe called humans.
