Dictators are interesting, no?

Dictators are ludicrous characters, and, you know, in my career and in my life, I've always enjoyed sort of inhabiting these ludicrous, larger-than-life characters that somehow exist in the real world.

Dictators cause the world's worst problems: all the collapsed states, and all the devastated economies. All the vapid cases of corruption, grand theft, and naked plunder of the treasury are caused by dictators, leaving in their wake trails of wanton destruction, horrendous carnage and human debris.

It is hard to look the other way when a dictator is being so cruel and violent with his own people.

Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.

The world will not accept dictatorship or domination.

Every one of the world's dictatorships can and does claim to be acting in the name of the people.

The world is run by monsters and you have to deal with them. Some of them run countries, some of them run banks, some of them run news corporations.

I think people believe I'm some kind of evil dictator sometimes. But I don't much care about that.

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.
