00:00For me as an actor, the interest was in trying to get to the bottom of who this person really

00:26is.

00:27Try to clear all the projections, impressions, misconceptions, and try to understand who

00:36he was, how did he get here, what did he want, and why is he doing this?

00:42Because he is a consequential public figure that we're all having to deal with, and I

00:45think we should know.

00:57Well, I've said before, it would be more fun for me, it would be more fun for him if we

01:02watch it together.

01:04I offer it, and I stand by my offer, and honestly I think there would be places where he would

01:11love the movie.

01:12I think he would find it entertaining, and also I wouldn't be surprised if he found some

01:18of his stuff less than entertaining.

01:21But you know, that's a mixed bag, I hold the mirror, if you don't like what you see, don't

01:26break the mirror.

01:33I mean, it's always difficult to do scenes like that.

01:36I think you always have to start with, are those scenes necessary, right?

01:42Are we all seeing on the same page?

01:44I think Ali, Maria, and myself certainly felt united in terms of how to approach it.

01:50I think we did our best with it, and I think we have to honor, like you said, what Ivana

01:56had spoken about at some point.
