Kids Not Only Understand [a Dark Story] But Appreciate It … Because In The Real World There's Fear, And Dark Things Happen No Matter How Young You Are. People Lose Parents, People Lose Friends … There's Darkness In The World. So I Think When Kids Are Talked To In That Way, They Appreciate It. They're Not Being Given Some Candy-coated, 'oh, This Is A World Where There Are No Stakes.' I Think That Actually Insults Their Intelligence.

You'd Never Catch Me Dancing On Tables In Public. I Have No Desire To Be Known For My Personal Life.
