I feel so grateful just for that to exist.
I just like kiss the ground that that movie walks on.
I don't really know if I should.
I think like...
The first Trump administration was so wild and just how can we let this stand?
Like, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
But as we've learned...
election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for.
And so then what am I doing?
I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's going to just add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart.
I mean, we are so divided.
I think I'm in a complicated recalibration phase
Because I'm also an artist and with this temperature and the way that things can turn out, I don't want to start turning people off to films and to art that could change consciousness or change the world because they don't like my political opinions.
I want...
to protect my craft so that you can still get lost in what I'm doing, what I'm showing.
And if I can't say something that's going to speak to some kind of peace or lowering the temperature or some sort of solution, I just don't want... I don't want to be a part of the problem.
I don't want to make the problem worse.
Yeah, just like if it's like looking at a chessboard, you know, you just watch these actors' faces who have...
had incredible careers and done amazing things and made incredible contributions that all of a sudden one half of the internet or one half of the country just can't stand anymore.
They don't want to see their face anymore because of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
