LAFF Video | Guillermo del Toro on "Hellboy 2"

Simple humor never dies:
"I'm absolutely the target audience for Family Guy.  I'm easily amused.  If there's a fart joke, I consider it a comedy masterpiece."  (Seth MacFarlane voices "Johann Kraus" in del Toro's "Hellboy 2")
The role of monsters:
"Physical ugliness is very important.  We live in a world that constantly tells us how to diminish our ugliness.  And I say fuck them all.  Let us be whatever we are."
Mythology and religion:
"In a world that enthrones skepticism as intelligence... it's much more ballsy to believe than to be a fucking skeptic.  If you're a skeptic because it's cool, fuck you.  Tell me why you don't believe."
