After all these years in the business, I really feel that actors are used. People treat actors worse than they treat children. It’s always, ‘Do me a favor,’ it’s always, ‘Help me out,’ it’s always, ‘You carry the load,’ and then they don’t want to admit what you’ve done.
America, I am a strong believer that how we treat each other matters.

It’s about communication. It’s about honesty. It’s about treating people in the organization as deserving to know the facts. You don’t try to give them half the story. You don’t try to hide the story. You treat them as – as true equals, and you communicate and you communicate and communicate.
