I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think art is fairly important, but they aren't curing cancer or freeing the slaves here. None of this means anything. The Oscars used to be as much about what the women were wearing and drunken acceptance speeches -it felt like a party- now they can't even have a host for fear that he'll hurt someone's feelings or mock the whole thing.

Bring back Ricky Gervais.

And where is the coolness of Hollywood? I feel like I'm watching a bunch of school teachers.
