“Give me shelter because of the Stones and because of the Maysles brothers and because I read a book about Altamont that really told me what was up and the entire disaster can be hung squarely on Mick Jagger. Yeah, read the Joel Selvin book.”

“Burden of Dreams because Herzog and you want to see his ridiculous process and to see what he will put himself through just to make a movie.”

“Being There, Hal Ashby, Peter Sellers, brilliant genius, so funny. I feel like I could watch it over and over again, which is one of the reasons.”

“Female Trouble because I think that this entire what this represents and who John Waters is and who Divine was and everything about this movie is one of the only weapons against fascism we have.”

“So this one, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, this is an Altman movie and this is really probably my favorite movie. I can't even tell you why—because of the layers, because of the color, because of the mumbling, because of the deconstructed Western business, because of Julie Christie, because of opium, because of horrors and religion and just in the street. Come on, man. America on its way up. Doesn't end well for McCabe.”

“American Friend. Now this movie is one of my favorite movies because I really don't understand it and I keep going back to it because it's so compelling.”

“My Darling Clementine, John Ford Western. Henry Fonda looks early. I've never seen it but I thought if I'm in here I should have a western. I should grab a western. Is it Henry Fonda good guy or Henry Fonda scary guy? Oh, good guy. All right, he can do either of them.”

“This one's kind of hard to find. I'm a big William Burroughs fan and this is a lot of Burroughs. It's a lot of him being candid and hanging out and performing and some history about him. He's a very unique guy and a big inspiration on me for reasons I can't even quite understand, but I've always been someone fascinated with him.”

“These are great movies about media and show business... There's a great examination of what eventually sort of became not even tabloid, just the complete exploitative nature of journalism in a way.”

“These are great movies about media and show business. This is A Face in the Crowd that I'm talking about now with a very evil Andy Griffith, who plays Lonesome Rhodes, the drunk that Patricia Neal makes a monster by making him a star. It gets political, it gets kind of weird, and then he gets caught off-mic saying horrible things. It's a great examination of megalomania in media.”

“Was this Shame? I'm familiar with that. There we go, we're done. More than enough.”
