They think one of these times when they do a trick like this it's gonna work and they're gonna be able to really harm [Donald] Trump.”

“In horror films, they sometimes don't show the monster because our imaginations and our own pain is so much greater. Social media is like that. I think it's so great. It doesn't have to show a monster - when you see someone leaving a mean comment, or living a so-called perfect life, you just put all of your pain into that.”
