We are a little bit out-of-touch in Hollywood. I think that?s probably a good thing. We are the ones who talked about AIDS when it was only being whispered ... We talked about civil rights ... I?m proud to be part of this Academy, proud to be part of this community.
aids backs bit blacks civil gave good group hollywood oscar people proud rights sitting talk talked touch
We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talk about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. This Academy, this group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I'm proud to be a part of this Academy.

awful felt food great health helped looking sick sounds until weight
In retrospect, it probably wasn't a great idea for my health because all I did was eat and eat until the weight just piled on. It sounds like a great situation, but you really get sick of looking at all that food. I felt awful shoving all this food in my face, but it really helped me feel like this character.

If we turn our heads and look away and hope that it'll all disappear, then they will, all of them - an entire generation of people. This is in fact the first genocide of the 21st century.

Who would name their kid Jack with the last words 'off' at the end of your last name? No wonder that guy is screwed up.
age footage guy looked looking might murrow people quite realized weight
When I was first writing it, I thought I'm about the right age and I might be the right guy to play it, ... But after looking at more and more footage of him, you realized that Murrow always looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. And, quite honestly, that's not what people think of when they think of me.
believe burned great history liberal qualities social starting view witch witches
I believe in all the qualities of being a liberal. I keep going back to all the great social events in our country's history, starting with the Salem witch trials, where the conservative view was that they're witches and should be burned at the stake, and the liberal view was there's no such thing as witches.

When you're young you believe it when people tell you how good you are. And that's the danger, you inhale. Everyone will tell you you're a genius, which you are not, and if you understand that, you win.
