We live in a pretty bleak time. I feel that in the air. Everything is uncertain. Everything feels like its on the precipice of some major transformation, whether we like it or not.

So I've always been kind of an apocalyptic kind of kid, and looking back at the movies I've done, there's some kind of apocalypse in them. So that must be what scares me... besides Republicans.

I am not a 'doom and gloom' guy.

I'm prone to a more depressed outlook on life.

We are both disturbed and fascinated by visions of bleak futures, predictions of what might come if we as a society aren't careful.

In entertainment, zombies are so played out. I have a gut sense that people are getting tired of apocalyptic scenarios.

I tend to be pessimistic about everything: If things seem to be going good, I'm worried that it's going to end; if things are bad, then I'm worried that it's going to be permanent. It's not a very comfortable attitude to have all the time.

America has always had an apocalyptic strain. Yet it also seems to believe that if, or when, The End comes, it will still come out on top.

Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.

I have a very positive outlook.
