[on 'Pussy Riot'] I really like hanging out with them They are always working and they are always on..They are professional revolutionaries. I never thought I would hear myself say those words in earnest, but I think they see revolution in a different, post-modern way. They are also very media savvy and aware of themselves right now of having this media bargain. They know it's a tricky thing: They want to use the media and their own visibility, but it's a question of how far do you go? And where do you draw the line? When are you selling out? I'm not the straight guy saying tone it down.
