I think, you know, if we look at times before, in these kind of times, that is when the types of projects that people choose to do or use their platform to show support, so I think that comes along with the job. I think it's just hard, you know, because if you support one, another feels like, and I'm big about, it all needs to be right, not one versus the other. But I do think it's important that we use our voices to show support to the common man who is on the battlefield, literally and figuratively, but I think at the same time, to hopefully using people that have this kind of access. I think the whole point is to encourage, to continue to get movement and things going in the proper area, so I think it's important. The artist's role is to agitate, to amplify, to educate, to empower. I think we need to be active, whether you're protesting or whether you're making something that is a protest in what it says. Right now, it's all about purpose and intention. No one should be sitting on the sidelines, and so I'm proud to encourage people to stand up and speak up. We've got to do it. I don't know, I mean, those are like, such a big question, you know what I mean? We live in complicated times, and people have always, often used art as a way to express themselves and express their views on stuff, so hopefully people can do that. I mean, art is so important. I think art also, the beautiful thing is it's a communal experience. I mean, filmmaking, you can't do it without everyone working together, and also, you know, art, it has, you hope it has something to say, that it can change people's opinions on things or bring people together, and so that's what I hope to do as an artist and continue to, because I think it can be a very, you know, art can be healing when you let it be, yeah. So, you know, Nebraska, I'm wearing the Nebraska colors tonight. Nebraska is an album, I think, that sort of plants its flag in the mountain of authenticity, and he is an artist that stands for authenticity, deeply authentic expression, defends and protects his truth. Carl Jung once said that only that which is really ourselves has the power to heal. I think Bruce is a champion of that. He has the courage to face and shake hands with his demons. The movie is about repairing trauma through art, and it's about healing and integrity, so all of those things I take from him. Also, how much he gives. He gives everything, every time. I mean, I can't say much or spill the secrets, but it's been really fun to play and also kind of show Effie Trinket's evolution into who she became. And Elizabeth, you know, she's so iconic in that role, and what she did with that role is so, you know, fans love Effie so much. She was always my favorite, so I hope to just do it proud. Sam is a friend. We worked together on The Idol and had a great time. And, you know, anytime a director like Sam Levinson calls, you just say yes, no matter what the part is. We had a blast. And I think he likes working with me because it's like having another director on set. He doesn't have to worry about me like an actor. It's like, I'll know my lines, I'll hit my marks, I'll give him some options. And we had a great time, an amazing time. What is a pro and a con of this technology coming into the industry? I think there's going to be amazing aspects to AI in terms of how it can, the speed at which we get things done in terms of film. But I hope that, you know, we keep the authenticity of the world that we've created. Obviously, making movies is something that we all love to do. And we still want to get to do in the right way. But it's definitely a unique time in the business. I mean, I think that pro is, if you're doing a low-budget movie and there's a visual effects shot that you could never afford, you can do it with AI. The con is that the technology is going to get so good that people will just be prompting keys and putting material out there. But to me, it feels like it'll be another genre, like another kind of animation. It's never going to replace it. But I do think that people that don't have the prejudice against it, you know, they're going to grow up watching content that way. It's just here. There's no getting rid of it. So, I think that it's just, you have to just create original stories that a computer can never come up with.
