  • But here's a Here's a penetrating question.

  • Yes.

  • Oh, I feel like I should cross my legs tighter.

  • Well, funny.

  • I was thinking when I watched you should, uh, someone tell me some links for this program Other peoples in this program and it's lots of actors talking to each other.

  • I'm talking about acting in a very deep in serious way.

  • Almost a quasi religious experience?

  • And it's like therapy, and it's trying to please your fellow actors.

  • Or do you think it's just a tool for entertaining?

  • Things I've done like like on Dean or in Bruges are the lobster stuff that usually has a budget between five and 10 million.

  • But the characters, because they don't have to find such a big audience.
