“You know those ads that are like ‘Don’t download things illegally,’ etc.? The way they did it was, ‘You wouldn’t steal a purse, would you? You wouldn’t think of stealing a car.’ And I was thinking about it as I was watching it, and I was like, ‘You know what, I would steal a car.’ If it was as easy as touching the car and 30 seconds later, I own the car. I would steal a car if stealing the car meant the person who owned the car got to keep the car.”
