Skeet Giddens Interview (date unknown)

‎"No, I get it. I see what you're saying. I think it can be done. I mean, the hard part is the now, dealing with those delicacies. Past truth is always fair game. Easy. And you're right, it does fall flat, I mean, you know, in this day and age. Unless its done skillfully, but who wants that? Isn't that a trick unto itself? And who needs another goddamn story anyway? No, it's gotta be done in an entirely new way. The world hasn't simply changed, it's been fucking totaled, man, blown apart, obliterated. Any fool can see it. There is nothing off limits to the comedy. That's the thing. You really gotta relish in this world, in your luck. I mean, you saw that series of paintings I did, the ones of the towers and then the one where I close in and instead of being burned alive, all the people are hanging out the windows and it's a fucking keg party, man, and everyone's chugging beer, flipping us off, holding up devil horns. One of the women has her shirt off, showing us her big fake titties. Dudes at windows, mooning us, others egging people to jump. And the one dude jumping only he's holding his ankles, doing a perfect gainer. You know what I mean? I mean, that's funny fucking shit, man! And there's a tremendous amount of meaning it, let me tell you. I have as much sympathy as anyone for what happened. I DO, I was there, man. But you show that sort of shit to people and, I mean, you're fucking toast... Yeah, I suppose your only chance at any sort of success is if there are enough people out there willing to say, hey, I'm a fucking idiot too! I mean what the fuck?"
