true that there is very little leeway specially for anyone starting out well that's the whole thing there's a lot of leeway there's so much leeway but they don't know that they're trained out of thinking there's any leeway this is how it's been done is how it's always been done this is how we should do it and i just think it's not even a good system they're not even great businessman they could be making so much more money it's not even if you can ten you to take what's special about people and massage it away until they're just an atomic time until they no longer know who they are what they are then what are you selling you're selling what you think someone should be and that person behind the scenes might not be somebody you want in your head so it's not even capitalism or it's the fact they themselves are in the cold but internationally billions of people are influenced but that's the thing and people say you know do you hate hollywood. i hate that it goes out to the world

i hate that that thought doesn't stay local you know and there's there's obviously been seminal amazing films and cinema and all these things and it has done some good but i think overall i think on the balance so a lot of harm and obviously in the in the newspapers across the media we know about certain studio directors you just mentioned an agent but what is exactly the rule of a hollywood publicist people way to know burt lancaster in the sweet smell of success what did they do and influence the billions of people in what they then may want to emulate aspire to and see in people what's usually somebody a publicist is meant to get you press or media or work usually with other higher ups to sell you. to make you palatable and a lot of these people have just seen movies where they see publicists in the movies acting a certain way so they come and they act that way because they think that's how

they're supposed to be so it's just kind of like this on and on the people in hollywood have seen movies about people in hollywood so they continue to behave that way even though there's no reason to not just be a person there's no reason to not be free but the threat is you'll be dropped if you don't take their orders it's not a threat they do it they they do it you don't want to get any reputation it's worse than you know high school girls sleeping with the boys it's like you don't want to reputation whatever you don't want a reputation so you do everything you can to not step out of line and and that eventually just again it strips what's special about you away i mean friends some journalists who try to interview some straws big surprise the publicists are in there pretty quickly to stop short questions particularly ones are bold to say or issues of war and peace. but i don't know israel gaza or do you really does that why i want to get interviews are so boring. tell you of the control they don't want

even stars don't have an opinion do not have an opinion no matter what you know do not have an opinion and i why not we're sorry but you get people on twitter that will say shut up and act or shut up i'm saying shut up and dance and i would say no we are people too and i think the more that people in front of the camera really understand that they have a voice also and people often get quite jealous of those i have a platform without realising they worked very hard for that platform i worked very hard to hang on to be sitting here today i work very hard at that why. some actors might have no thoughts on the matter some might have starts. their very infantilized. and you get used to being coddled and told what to do where to sit how to look what to be i don't cotton to that kind of. direction.

it's clearly. how big this will have to be before it gets the freedom natalie portman recently said she was supporting gaza robert redford has always been a big name and always talked about the military industrial complex warren beatty you have to be really concerned you have read that big to really have any kind of freedom or even they have strictures apply think. well i mean i'm sure that the men get a lot more leeway susan sarandon i think. by hollywood standards was kind of branded you know kind of kooky that's what they like to do if you have a personality or you have a specific point of view you're a kook or you're kind of unhinged. when it's ok to just be a person and have have a point of view it doesn't have to be anybody else's but it can be yours. and i think if you're young and you're up and coming and you're making noise about gaza

all of people above you will get very nervous because then you're going to get put in celebrity time. because not only is that you in the corner at lincoln so absurd is really a magazine celebrity time i mean i mean you get your like a little kid you get your face in the corner until you get better it's the proverbial time out it's quite asinine to tell you the truth so fans of for two people you mention in the book if we if we get away from the level of things maybe disappointed to know that robert rodriguez going to terra to know seen as independent filmmaker is not that much different really to the corporate filmic it's not. you know they are they're men with power. and in fact. i would think the corporate ones might have more oversight but. their oversight committee was hardly wants to. do would you go as

there was the powerful will say well justice was eventually people often have to just wait quietly. no they had a hand and. quantum even so they all know. you know he knew about me he said it in an interview. you know they say the complicity machine is huge there. there's talk about an industrial complex is one of complicity. and it's one of continually protecting people that aren't even that great in the first place so they're not. just clean out the crap so great things can come just cut off the head to rot and let other things florus because we know it's all there we've all worked in those places where it would be so great if it weren't for that one person get rid of that one person. to attitude comes from the top down and

the attitude of permissiveness imagine if your boss is a known rapist where you get to get away with pretty much everything right it is something of a malcolm x. in this targeting of the talk because obviously you talk about hollywood functioning as propaganda the billions of people going to the movies when you are promoting them on that level people arguably feel that they can't do as much but it is at the top that things have to change yes it is at the top. fundamentally biting ankles of power does not work. i wanted to show people that you could go for the head but of course some people saying that they're there quite a few people still still there other definitely are for legal reasons regardless shouldn't you the people i mean the how would you say you how the law serves them as well in terms of media being able to cover stories like this well i mean if you look at harvey weinstein got to turn himself in on a friday afternoon to be arrested on

a long weekend that means his story won't be running all week in the news already be old news by the time the next week rolls around after the bank holiday you know that's all orchestrated that's all orchestrated in the media by not covering it and the week following necessarily falls into that we've got a great save the police acted like she had your promotional system of staggering events in his case he has people high up on his side which is a sad side to be on and it is symptomatic all of this probably again to the people you seem to preempt the criticism in the book towards the end saying people will think i should i only would rather than all he would it was me for what element of it is don't. you know i think i get to say to you know i don't know hollywood anything. you know why i don't see many people that do you know people like me

the ones that are marketed as sex symbols they don't and i talk about this in the book they don't generally get out of their life or they're kind of driven crazy and live off in the desert somewhere and they don't come out the other side it's very hard to come out the other side. an interviewer asked me if i was person and non grata in hollywood and i said no their persona non-grata was me i get a sense i get to to say. i count and in terms of trying to change things you talk about emailing tweeting social media because she will boycotting it isn't the world timidly it is to do with mass action and i suppose that in the me too was a big degree of mass action whether it be through regular trade unions they were declared in the united states is that the way forward because presumably even you think this is just one success you haven't been totally successful. well i think it has changed a lot i've heard of that there reshooting

a scene right now on something i know about a project that i've heard of where it was too sexualized to rape so they're taking it out entirely people are they are starting to see things with different lenses it's whether they fully understand it or not. who knows but they understand that it's bad and that's a start you know i was sent a script a while ago and every single time the female character appeared she had a laundry basket for no apparent reason and she never did the laundry she just liked her laundry basket. is that kind of stuff i want people to start seeing these movies and and the television and picking apart what they're telling you pick apart like what message are you sending me with this female character with this male character with the toxic masculinity this is not just about how women are represented it's man and of course of his men running something they're going to be defined the men but in a way that i think puts a trap on a lot of men and also i feel like the little boys you see it so young with them when they get to know your so brave you don't cry my heart breaks for them cry it

hurt you'll be done in a minute it's cool you're ok but people are so quick to stick you in the box aren't they at that kills me people think they do i do everything for women. i think i'm more of a humanist now i want to get out of these rigid structures because they're killing us i mean if you look at the state of the world i think arguably could say it's. having some troubles toxic masculinity can only bring you so far and then it will cave in on itself but i think it i hope it caves into freedom forever but hey there's i want everybody to be out of these rigid structures or in because they're just not necessary you know i've been lucky enough in a lot of ways to live a fairly free life even while in different cults at least the life of the mind and i got mine back it was close i kept i kept all the money i got that but i didn't

break and i see that so many men i see them like kind of. not knowing or being taught how to process things or or just and there's so much you know violence towards women and it stems from it stems from this idea of ownership for one thing of women and the other part i think is not being able to process emotion i mean there are people that are social class and sick there's just that but what about the others you know i mean and and that's where like i know it sounds really weird but my heart almost breaks par for the man. as we're going to take. the trip for what are your favorite shows from this season your favorite the way back for one reason i went through the difference of time with the lead up to that's my first really.
