M. Cioran What will happen once the authentic mass man takes over, we do not know yet, although it may be a fair guess that he will have more in common with the meticulous, calculated correctness of Himmler than with the hysterical fanaticism of Hitler, will more resemble the stubborn dullness of Molotov than the sensual vindictive cruelty of Stalin.

The fact he has been courageous enough to go as an actor to a place where you don't know whether to love him or hate him; you don't know whether it's from insecurity or certitude; you don't know whether it's because he desperately needs another success, or because he believes in something artistic and he's being manipulative, or because he's just being a vindictive SOB.
