I had three points I wanted to make: That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job. But I didn't make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

It's crazy to me that in this world of electronic medical records Walmart has so much information about how we shop, but no one has that information about our health.

Imagine if all those kings and dukes hadn't commissioned those crazy cathedrals, paintings and music... we'd still be living in sticks and mud. Because none of those things made any economic sense. Human beings' capacity to 'waste time' is a miracle - but that's exactly what art is for.

What I need to address are the situations when people are taking it upon themselves to think for me, make assumptions, or interpret things as if they are me.

I am somehow allowed by the universe to do exactly what I want to do to make a living.
