It relies on humor and music to communicate what's being lost...For me it was really great to locate something true about America, something that cuts across all levels of sophistication and humanity, about who we are as Americans, and that's why I loved being in it.
Now, to see it all together is really quite, quite extraordinary. It's a spectacular museum. I just think Joe (Thompson) has done an amazing job. It's such an inspiring place here, really. It makes you remember why you're alive.
