Any of the very few gifts that were ever given were given with a spirit of fun and adventure and received with laughter, fun, and adventure.”

“I’m playing a guy called the Joker, it’s okay to play some jokes. Nothing ever crossed any lines, and it’s not up to other people on the internet to create those lines… I’m an artist at the end of the day. If I do something risky and you don’t like it, basically, you can kiss my a**.”
