Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.

I took movement classes that I wore my double-breasted suits to. I worked on my elocution because people spoke differently then. I was really trying to toe the line. I think that if I had spoken exactly the way that people spoke back then, it probably would have alienated people.
