A little fight in you. I like that.
Does it depress you? To know just how alone you really are?
Nobody panics when things go “according to plan”. Even if the plan is horrifying!
Let's put a smile on that face!
Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I’m an agent of chaos , and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.
Want know how I got these scars? My father was a drinker and a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not one bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says, 'why so serious?' He comes at me with the knife. 'Why so serious?!'. He sticks the blade in my mouth. 'Let's put a smile on that face!' And why so serious?
Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules!
See I’m not a monster, I’m just ahead of the curve.
You see, in their last moments people show you who they really are.
I believe whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stranger.
I sort of took my career and destroyed it,
was a very lonely experience, but it was supposed to be.
I was really lucky that my character was uncomfortable with it and knew it too. So I could use my own level of discomfort, because it was new and strange for me, and that worked for me.
