I'm so tired of this crap, this guy. But yeah, you must immerse yourself in whatever that is. Hopefully, the universe responds. It will try to.
I think people have always, I know it doesn't fit with the narrative and I hate the word, use the word narrative way too used. There's a compulsion almost at this point to just say anybody that thinks Trump's doing a good job is stupid or a fascist. I don't come across as any of those things. I'm a reasoned, reasonable guy.
I think that the movement, the focus, the direction of what Trump is involved in, his ego aside and all the stuff that you want to just latch onto and hate, is more aligned with what I believe America should be doing. And it should be taking care of itself and looking after people and not taxing so much. And there's a whole bunch of stuff that comes along for the ride.
But prosperity is generated by protecting the homeland. So these are things that I actually align with. And I don't do it in a way that's belligerent or hateful to people, I hope. Are they hateful to some of the things I believe? Maybe they are.
I'm also a guy who's very cautious about abortion and stuff like that because I've had life taken from me, destroyed right in front of me, and had some difficult circumstances. Do I believe that you should outlaw abortion? No, but I do think there should be... some limits, and then some reasonable approach to the idea that this is a life and it's precious.
Because in my experience, the most precious things to me were the things that lived and that life was taken. And so that's where I am.
I don't know. I remember why I said it. At the time, I was actually considering trying to play him.
Yeah, no, it just seemed like that would be a really interesting guy to play. Anyway... He'd be an interesting guy to play. Fascinating guy to play. 2016, that's when I started thinking... Maybe I would like to play Vladimir Putin. He's a fascinating guy. And what is the quotation?
Yeah, I think he doesn't make apology for who he is. And I think that's an interesting thing to play. I don't think he's a nice guy. I'm not saying, oh, I admire him so much, but I admire someone who is so comfortably in themselves. And he is one of those creatures. Interesting to play a guy like that. I used to love when I'd see him on his horseback with his shirt off.
Yeah. He doesn't look that good. I'm sorry. And I thought, but he obviously must think he does. So somewhere in that, how do you get to that place? And I admire a brain that goes there. It wasn't meant to be, so it's shocking. Alarming alignment with a lunatic. Is he a lunatic? I don't know. Is he a crafty, political, maybe fascistic mindset? I don't know. I think he loves Russia.
I think he wants it to be what it once was. Is he a zealot? Yeah, maybe. Maybe he's a zealot, which is interesting. If you think about zealots can usually be defeated because they don't see clearly.
So anyway, I'm still fascinated by him. I'd be interested in playing him. What he's perpetuating in Ukraine and all that. This whole Ukraine thing is a very dodgy situation.
On its face, it does seem there's a horrible thing going on. But there's also just the history there of being used as a bank account for deception. It's a really bad thing that was going on there. A lot of money laundering. all kinds of people, all kinds of political people, and all kinds of governments. Maybe that's all part of getting cleaned up now. Maybe that's what's really happening.
But there's a human price that goes along with it. It's horrible. The devastation is just insane. When Trump does talk about rubble, he gets rubble. He understands construction. He actually really does. Rebuilding that kind of stuff is really hard and yet important. He gets the value of real estate.
That was actually my understanding of what this thing radical forgiveness is, a concept of radical forgiveness, to see that even in the most tragic set of circumstances or even hostile circumstances, that person may be guiding you to your higher good, to a better person than you are right now. And that's been hard for me.
That's my description of it was basically based on how difficult it was to kind of embrace that. But now there is a kind of wisdom in hindsight that says, well, yeah, maybe that guy lifted me in some way, lifted me to another level and understanding and fulfillment. And in fight, I've been a fighter. I've fought pretty hard through a lot of these things. And actually, I like to fight.
So it's a weird value. But for instance, the man that came into our house, I speak about him, Bob, when we were still teenagers and my grandmother was spending time with him. He was a real challenge. And he was a real jerk. But maybe he made me strong. And I ended up throwing him out of the house one day. I was 16 years old. I'm lifting a grown man. And I ejected him from our home.
It was surreal, but it was also like, I had to do that. Would I have done it if he was a great guy?
I'll tell you what I usually answer to this question. It's borrowed from Gregory Peck. I heard him once accept an award, and I loved him. So he said, my ultimate goal, Kelsey, is to say that any time a person spent watching my work was time well spent. I'd like to live for that. But now, having done Karen...
I'd like to think they'd remember my sister and remember Karen and remember the love we had. And I think that'd make me really happy. In fact, I had a dream the other night where I thought to myself, wouldn't it be cool if people remember Karen longer than they remember me?
