2	->''"And as you know, back in 1970... I starred on a series called, ''Wha' Happened?''. And every time something would go wrong, I'd look at the camera and say: 'Hey, wha' happened?'. We had a lot of fun with that and a lot of other catch phrases: 'I got a real red wagon!', and uh, 'I can't do my work!', And I believe I was the first one to use the phrase, 'I don't think so!'. But it only lasted a year. And that's good because that's how you establish a cult."''

6	->''The purpose of a cult is exclusion. If you're not in the cult, you are by definition lacking some essential quality shared by its members. Those inside the cult can feel privileged, even gifted, by their ability to Get It."''

17	->''"All cult really means is that something is popular that others didn't expect to be popular. Some people get it. Others are assholes."''

20	->''"But the key thing with ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' is that it is, like ''Film/HowardTheDuck'', one of those genuine examples of a cult movie by accident. People who make cult movies on purpose don't make cult movies, they make bad movies. ''Film/Piranha3D'', all the Creator/{{Troma}} movies -- those are movies that want to be cult movies, but they aren't. Genuine cult movies are movies which try to be popular mainstream hits but somehow are so squiffed, so off-balance, so offbeat, so strange, so quirky, so against the mainstream that they don't find that audience -- and yet [[VindicatedByHistory later on, people embrace them.]]"''

23	->''"I go there and it’s like going to a foreign country, with so many people in different costumes, dressed as different characters. I’ve met a few Borg, actually. It’s so bizarre and wonderful, and I kept thinking, 'Are they going to have things like this for ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' in 20 years?'"''

32	->''“That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops, it’s kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean, it’s kind of a poster child for flops. A lot of iconoclasts really love that movie. They love to love something that everyone hates. And those are my kind of folks. I’m happy to be part of that club of people who don’t want to be told what’s horrible and just want to enjoy it anyway. ''Howard the Duck'' has a lot of fans, and usually when they come up to me, I just think they’re the coolest. Because it takes a lot of strength, a lot of perseverance to love ''Howard the Duck.''”''

35	->''"...I'm kind of standing over by the piano, and I was thinking 'well, I'm gonna get recognized any minute now.' Then I decided to move over by the percussion and I found an interesting lighting situation and I'm ready for 'aren't you that guy?' Nothing. I went over by the guitars and I waited. Nothing. I was a little let down. A week later they asked me to drive on another field trip, this time they're going to the dump. 12 guys surrounded my car. Go figure. Everybody knows me... at the dump."''
