    I remember when Jerry Seinfeld used to have that attitude. The bit was along the lines of "people ask me what I think about these topics. I'm a comedian. Who cares what I think? I don't care what I think about this."

      Clearly that's also how he feels about age of consent laws

          What's the deal with the age of consent? I mean, if you're 16 then you're old enough to drive a car with adult supervision and die in a fiery crash, but if you're 16 and with an adult you can't go out and yada yada yada be really tired the next morning. What gives?

          I'm sorry, it seems to me that if you're old enough to be allowed to do the activity with an adult that usually ends lives then you're old enough to do the activity with an adult that begins life. It just balances it out.

          The kids are the future anyway, they should decide how many people will be around.

    Dangerously... well not based, but, self-aware. Dangerously self-aware.

    A perfectly reasonable response to a wide range of issues.

    I mean, he played a Nazi in that Tibet movie, I can see not wanting to focus on the region.

    celebrity / fame is weird. none of us knows any of these people, but we know their faces and voices so there is a bizarre familiarity which is completely one way.

    like I saw an obscure actor once and all I knew was I recognized them, but couldn't place them. [I later realized they played the antagonist in the Rodney Dangerfield movie, Ladybugs. ] but the brain sensation of "I know them" is overriding.

    as someone who looks like a shitload of other people (I am very generic to my type and kind), I sometimes get approached by strangers who recognize me as someone else. it's a weird feeling when people think they know you and you don't know them at all.

    I kinda get why celebs can end up distant, if not reclusive and only tend to see each other, socially.

    This is pretty funny considering he has a biopic movie where he plays a Nazi SS officer who traveled to Tibet and linked up with the monks and tutored the dalai lama. Libs still cite this movie/book as very important and true and valuable historically.
