So I was wondering if you could tell that story to us.
I think people can assess.

Students together at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, where a lot of great actors came from.

One of the greatest bits of advice you ever got as a young, starving actor, you said you could survive, what was it, on a loaf of wheat bread, a jar of honey, and a jar of peanut butter?

I want to talk to you about Sinners, which is an amazing film, one of the biggest movies of last year, which will hopefully reap a lot of awards.
This is a movie, again, filled with music, brilliant music.
Brilliant music.
And you play a musician.
