I went to the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan because I love Japanese cinema.

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.

I hate it when people talk about Buffy as being campy... I hate camp, I don't enjoy dumb TV. I believe Aaron Spelling has single-handedly lowered SAT scores.

The middlebrow, I hate.
