In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.

I'm very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing, and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.

Movies, as evidenced by a chorus of protesting and celebrating Americans, influence broader trends.

I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.

There's too much down time making movies. That leads to boredom. And that leads to trouble.
