It's Always Important To Have

I Know That Might Sound Perverse Because I Played Julian Assange But, Honestly, I Don't Think It Would Be Fair For Me To Judge The Man. I Realize That Makes Me A Bit Of A Hypocrite Because I Was Portraying Him A Certain Way, But We Were Always Open To The Fact That This Was An Interpretation, Not Any Kind Of Exact Evidence Of Who The Man Was.

I Play Enough Other Mad People, As Well And Some Sane People, To Vary The Palette Of What's Scrabbling Around In My Head And Soul To Bring To The Floor, As A Storyteller.

I'd Love To Meet Julian [assange], And Time Permitting, And His Will Permitting, I'm Sure It Will Happen At Some Point. Even Though He's Been Very Critical Of The Film [the Fifth Estate], He's Been Very Polite About Me And My Work, And I Feel The Same Way About Him.

I Really Discovered [dr.strange] Through Hearing About This Film And First Meeting Scott [derrickson] And Getting Into It And Just Opening Up And Saying, "okay, This Is, Like All Comics, Very Much Of Its Era," And My First Question Was, 'how Do You Make This Film? Why Do You Make This Film Now?' And The Answers Were So Enticing That I Was Like, "i'm In."

I Am Also Full Of Admiration For Chelsea Manning [formerly Pfc Bradley Manning]. Regardless Of Which Side Of The Argument You're On, He Stood Up For Something He Felt Wasn't Right. That Was An Extraordinarily Brave Thing To Do, And I Think He Was Unfairly Punished For It. It's A Really Big Deal What He Did, And He Did It For The Betterment Of All Us, Including The Soldiers On The Ground, As Well As The Civilians Caught Up In Those Conflicts.
