Do you know why Pepe was a negative force? It just struck me—because he’s all about humour and humour is all about inversion. Do you know what humour does? It destroys innocence.

You make everything dirty—mockers.
Politicians, diplomats, comedians, moralists—you make everything dirty.
You can’t be patient and look and see—it was because one day, when you were a child, you said something sincere; and everyone laughed at you—and you learned not to be sincere, to always lie, to always pretend, to always be safe.
And now you’re dead—you’re alive but dead.
At least you’re safe—they’ll never hurt you.
But you don’t have life.
