My face always looks bored or depressed. It's not an accurate impression.
I'm not being secretive about anything. I just actually don't have opinions about society.
If I were really rich, I would be flying places, I think.
If I don't like someone and I start reading their stuff, it seems like my brain will just automatically start criticizing everything that's there. It's really hard to read a book without having all this outside information telling you what to think about it.
I think it would be funny for people to read in obituaries of me that my major contribution to the arts was the popularization of the phrases 'neutral facial expression' and 'screaming in agony.'
