Nobody has a franchise on what is good.
I saw and I met a lot of people who were in the field. It also provided a context in which I came to respect what the actor did, because I saw how difficult it actually was to do.
I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means.
Anyone who devotes time and attention to what makes people tick, to me, is a smart person.
I'm a 9/11 Republican.
But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.
