When I make films, I work with Mike Leigh, who’s the most prolific director in England.
I’m doing a bit of theatre: I’m doing a Mike Bartlett play called ‘Contractions.’ I’m very, very happy and lucky to be going back to the stage.
Who is Mike Judge? Let me think. The only way I could possibly answer that question would be in a nonverbal fashion. I think I could do an interpretive dance that would answer that question for you.
I know he’s not an MMA fighter, but can we just talk about how great Deontay Wilder is? He’s must-see TV. Not since Mike Tyson has boxing had an American heavyweight who could hit like him… and talk like him, too. I love his interviews, his demeanor, his fighting style… the whole package.
Diana Ross is a big inspiration to all of us. We all grew up watching everything about her – her mike placement, her grace, her style and her class.
Danny Williams broke my dream. Iron Mike, for me, was the dream. For many years, I would see Tyson and say, ‘Mike, I want to fight you.’ He was on his way back, and we were making conversation about a fight between me and him. So I was very surprised and disappointed when he lost.
It’s always weird when you see a movie, and there’s no reason for someone to, like, jump on stage and be a singer, and then they just do that… But if it came organically, I would grab that mike and jump on stage for sure.
I love Mike Winters. He’s such a great actor.
I threw my son, Brandon, a rave for his birthday and I fully set it up like a crazy rave with lights and sound, me and my partner DJ’d – I got Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys to come DJ for a bit.
Different directors have different things, so when I left Mike Leigh, as it were, and I went into other projects after ‘All or Nothing,’ it took some getting used to – what do you mean there’s a script?!?’ That kind of thing.
