Well, the Penguin [in Batman] is evil. [...] He wants to get that diamond that is shaped like a bird or that really expensive umbrella.

"[On talking to political opponents:] Come at that conversation appreciating that what theyre spouting now has become their identity and also has become their status. So youre asking them to give up something both that matters to them on an emotional and values level, but also from an evolutionary-psychology level."
