Do you mean physical pain?
all kinds of pain. I don’t like psychological, emotional, or physical pain. There may be people like Oh, I know I could very well break something, I’ll have to try it. Fuck. Or I don’t consider myself a tough guy.
Really?
I don’t live like that. I’m a lubricant I want people to feel comfortable. I don’t know how it works at the expense of someone’s comfort. I make people happy.
On social media, for example, they seem to do everything they can to make the sci-fi fandom more welcoming and inclusive. For example, you’re very supportive of her older sister, who came out as transgender in 2021, how are you navigating her role in the political arena?
Completely improvised and ultimately just a mistake, like… [very long pause, two deep sighs] My heart is with the marginalized and vulnerable. it’s not a choice. Likewise, who does not support those who deserve support, who deserve protection, and who need more help than you do? do you understand?
Yeah, but some actors would say, My star is rising and I don’t want to get involved in this.
If you stop and think about it, it can prevent you from doing the right thing. And this feels like the bare minimum. Likewise, the bare minimum.
Not enough Instagram posts?
No, it’s not. My personal hope is to seize the opportunity to serve in a true way.I keep my eyes open. The truth is that I almost don’t think I’m doing enough. Because we live capitalistically. Do you think we carry the weight of that shame?
The weight of capitalist shame? Is making money a bad thing?
a little?
You achieved success in your later years. You worked consistently—
I worked consistently and in a typical way I was totally struggling, but there was always someone who could bail me out, like help me pay the rent or buy groceries.
But now you must be rolling like Demi Moore with all the money.
[Laughs] Demi Moore vulgar proposal?
yes.
I do not have board for that reason. She’s basically the only one who can pull it off. Yes, I accept cash. I spread it across the bed and roll in it.
i knew it. But seriously, what do you think of the recent stardom?
I did not understand game of thrones until the late 30’s. So the number of times I have been helped and the number of people I have been able to rely on during very difficult times, I will never buy dinner again. also want to take care of people.
