I think I'm like Marmite; you either love me or you hate me.
I feel things in quite an intense way. I'm not actually the most intense person.
I played in a death-metal band. People either loved us or hated us. Or they thought we were OK.
In England, we have this saying about Marmite: people either love it or hate it. That's like a lot of the movie work I've done. People either find it repulsive or find it really interesting and get engaged in it.
I think being mediocre and in the middle would be the worst. It's more interesting to get strong reactions, and to have the mixture of people who get it and the people who don't get it. And to invite a dialogue.
When a man is small, he loves and hates food with a ferocity which soon dims. At six years old his very bowels will heave when such a dish as creamed carrots or cold tapioca appear before him.
Laughing and crying are very similar. They're an extreme response to life. You see it in children who start laughing hysterically.
People either hate my paintings or they love them. There does not seem to be much middle ground.
I think some of the things I deal with Hopper probably has dealt with also, since it's somewhat the same environment and I have pretty strong reactions to what this country looks like. It looks pretty dull and spare, and you like this and dislike it and it's very complicated.
It's fun to be the guy that can be so polarising and have that effect on so many different people.
It's either love or hate with me. People really can hate me.
I've always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
There are still plenty of people who want to burn me at the stake for my Wonder Woman run. And I can't really blame them, you know? That was my take on the character, and when people are invested in the characters, they see them very clearly and in the way they like.
David Mamet we all know is a great screenplay writer and playwright and a great director. If you like him, you like him. If you hate him, you really hate him. He's someone who's into controversy, you know what I mean? That's David Mamet.
People that love me, love me. But the people that hate me really hate me.
I have no idea why anyone likes me! I am very polarizing. It's either absolutely love or absolutely can't-be-around-for-more-than-three-seconds.
When something actually shocks me, that's when you know it's a great topic.
I'm really easily affected by horror films. I have pretty strong reactions to them.
When I was in middle school, I always did well in school, but teachers either loved me or absolutely hated me.
I know I create major reactions in people.
Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
How can something that's 95% water be so divisive? Alone among vegetables, the poor, innocent stick of celery elicits the most vicious attacks.
Every president who has tried to bring about big changes I think elicits the most passionate responses.
Love me or hate me, it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved, for the exact same reasons.
I feel things deeply.
