"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"I use references to everything, to Pop, just things that I find compelling to watch. The spirit of all this work was really stuff that I either find funny or beautiful that I wanted to share with other people....I wanted to make myself laugh. I could tell when I was editing if I was having a good time because it made me laugh."
