I've been so fortunate throughout my career, when I was doing theater, more theater than anything else, and when I was doing films that I got a chance just to do a broad range of things. In fact, a lot of my choices that I made were about that very thing. Every project that I had an opportunity to do or chose to do, I wanted it to be different from the last thing I did, and I think that's why I have a good, you know, I had kind of a diverse kind of résumé.

I was in a restaurant, and it just struck me, something I'd never thought of before. And it's menus in the restaurant just hit me.

So we're - we set out to try and offset some of those stereotypes.
