Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
I like high impact movies.
I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.
I don't like doing movies, period. Movies are hard. I like TV.
I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds o...
