I dont play villainy. I wouldnt even know how to play it.

Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.

Whatever mistakes you make this time around, you will live through on your next pass. Every mistake you make, you will live through again and again, forever. So my advice to you is to get it right this time around. Because this time is all you have.

Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.

I can't imagine that anyone in Hollywood is sitting around trying to decide what actor is good or right or qualified for a role and is being denied a role because of their political views. I don't think that's the way Hollywood works. We're not living in an era of blacklisting.

Storytelling helps us understand each other, translate the issues of our times, and the tools of theater and film can be powerful in helping young people to develop communication/collaboration skills, let alone improving their own confidence.

Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.
