Actor Ethan Hawke on Donald Trump: “I’ve done enough Shakespeare plays to know power corrupts. It’s a common theme of mankind. History’s littered with despots and selfish people and greedy people and they make the rules for the kind people”
'Avatar' star Stephen Lang speaks on masculinity
"I left the man club some years ago ... I have no interest in promoting some idea of masculinity that is either aggressive or more important than anyone else. I play it. I love playing it. I enjoy it. But I, I don't want to ever be thought of as some lunkhead male who's promoting some form of alpha masculinity because that's not who I am and not what I want to do"

I've been holding back because everyone loves this guy but almost everything in this short film was my work.
I wrote, shot, edited this - his contribution was the acting. But he wanted everyone to think he was an auteur, so he ghosted me and released it under his name.
Tom Cruise makes a speech as he accepts his first-ever Oscar.
“Making films is not what I do, it’s who I am… no matter where you’re from, in a theater we laugh, we feel, we hope together, and that’s the power of this art form”
Brittany Broski asks Josh Hutcherson to say something that he would say if he were brainwashed:

Comedian David Cross released a fiery statement on his website condemning the comedians who agreed to perform at Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival:
"I am disgusted, and deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing. That people I admire, with unarguable talent, would condone this totalitarian fiefdom for...what, a fourth house? A boat? More sneakers?"
"We can never again take seriously anything these comedians complain about (unless it's complaining that we don't support enough torture and mass executions of journalists and LGBQT peace activists here in the states, or that we don't terrorize enough Americans by flying planes into our buildings). I mean that's it; you have a funny bit about how you don't like Yankee Candles or airport lounges? Okay great, but you're cool with murder and/or the public caning of women who were raped, and by having the audacity to be raped, were guilty of 'engaging in adultery'? Got any bits on that?"
"These are some of my HEROES! Now look, some of you folks don't stand for anything so you don't have any credibility to lose, but my god, Dave and Louie and Bill, and Jim? Clearly you guys don't give a sh*t about what the rest of us think, but how can any of us take any of you seriously ever again? All of your bitching about 'cancel culture' and 'freedom of speech' and all that shit? Done. You don't get to talk about it ever again. By now we've all seen the contract you had to sign. You're performing for literally, the most oppressive regime on earth. They have SLAVES for f*ck's sake!!!"
