00:00That was what was really appealing about the project from when I read it.
00:04It felt like a different Malcolm, a Malcolm we can't find on YouTube.
00:20This is a beautiful story of friendship and these four are friends that are also tough
00:28to each other because they love so much. In your opinion, how important is it to have friends
00:33that tell you always the truth? It's the most important thing. It's one of the things that I
00:40feel most grateful for in my life. My core group of friends I've known since I was 10-11 years
00:47old
00:48and the honesty sometimes can be quite hard to take but it's one of the things in my life that
00:55I cherish the most. I think it's really important.
00:58These four people are really special people but we see them struggling with insecurities,
01:08with fear and I think that one of the main themes of the movie is to find our voice.
01:14So in your opinion, how important is it to find it and how can we find it?
01:19Yeah, I mean, it's different. That's different for everyone but if you're lucky enough in your
01:30life and in your situation where you get to have a crack at finding out who you are and what's
01:38important to you and what you want to do with your life and in the world that we're living in
01:44now,
01:44that's a real privilege but I think as an actor or as an artist or as a, you know, in
01:52work it's
01:53important to find your own voice. Yeah, I don't know. So that's quite a philosophical question you
01:59threw on me.
02:00Okay. Malcolm in the movie says to Jim and to Sam that they're doing songs, they're doing movies but
02:09they could do more. But then Sam Cooke's song was quoted by Barack Obama in 2008. He said,
02:20it's been a long time coming but tonight change has come to America. So maybe songs, movies are
02:25simple things but they can change the world. Do you agree art can change the world?
02:30I hope so. You know, I feel like for me when I was, when I, when I was young I
02:35sat, I sat and watched,
02:36I sat and watched some movies and there were moments in those films where the really sort of
02:42emotionally impactful moments hit me in a way, you know, and, and, and made me think and feel
02:47different. You know, I could go on and on about, you know, what the films were. So, and I think
02:53it's really interesting because I think what great filmmaking can be and great acting can be,
02:59you know, we can, we can, we can, we can make moments where you, you, you, you ask people really
03:06to face their humanity and to like show the connection between who's on screen and who's
03:11watching and, and, and how close we all are. So yeah, it definitely for me, you know, music and,
03:18and, and, and films and good TV and stories, essentially stories and character characters that
03:24are grounded in, in real psychology and, and behavior and relationships. And yeah, I mean,
03:29it's my job. So I find it endlessly interesting.
03:32In the Rustosi, uh, the other guy says to say to Malcolm that he should do, uh, the director because,
03:39um, cinema is the future. Do you believe that today he will be a director? He could be interested
03:47in, in cinema or, or not? Oh man, I don't know. I think one of the main things I, I
03:53took away from
03:54this film was it was a feeling that I, you know, I really had an experience and, and sort of
04:01fell
04:01in love with this man in such a profound way and, and felt like I really missed him. And that,
04:07you know,
04:07I could meet one person or have not even have a conversation with just to have been in the presence
04:12of him just to have sat there quietly and just watched him operate and, you know, and, and talk.
04:19And I would have loved to have just listened to him more. And I got to, for two months, I
04:23got to
04:23listen to him every day from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep, I was
04:28listening or
04:29watching and, you know, really beyond fascinating human being deeply rich and complex and funny
04:35at such a one like wicked sense of humor. And, and it was awesome to get to explore like the,
04:42the kind, the kind, gentle, private, uh, you know, sweet, more bashful side of Malcolm. And, um,
04:51yeah, that was, that was what was really appealing about the project from the, from when I read it,
04:55it was, it felt like a different Malcolm, a Malcolm that, a Malcolm we can't find on YouTube,
05:00you know, so that was, uh, that was, that was such a huge part of the joy of this.
05:06Thank you so much. Great job. Great job, by the way. Bye.
05:10See ya.
