I'm disenchanted with Communism and most other things. I'm cynical but not a cynic. I'm cynical about TV, Congress, and commercial peanut butter.

My books were attacked constantly by the Communist Party for not hewing to the Party line. I have never hewed to a Party line of any kind.

Americans have no sense of history. And not much memory. They don't remember what happened yesterday.

I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.

Music, in Mexico, just wasn't working out. So, I fell into acting and I just fell in love with it. It was amazing! It was a great safe place to just vent.

I don't like to get in front of people.
