00:00That, I think, to me, is way more important than an actor or actress or musician telling people, like you
00:09said, who to vote for, because it's like, I mean, some guy's on the fence, you know, and it's like,
00:15well, Dash Riprock said it on the Golden Globes, so I'm voting for, you know, it's like, we, I mean,
00:21I don't know anything about politics.
00:23I have no idea, I mean, and if, and the stuff that I believe about it, I don't want to
00:27force it down somebody else's throat, because I'm not an expert on that.
00:32What I am an expert on is having this s**t.
00:35And you're an expert on you and being a human.
00:37Right, exactly.
00:37I remember I once had an argument with my mom years and years ago, like 25 years ago, we were
00:42watching the Academy Awards, and somebody got on and made a political statement.
00:47And it didn't really matter to me, but I remember my mother saying, this is terrible that they would do
00:53that.
00:53And I go, why is it terrible?
00:54They go, it's so disrespectful.
00:56This is the biggest night.
00:57This is so disrespectful.
00:59I go, well, I don't know if it's disrespectful.
01:01It doesn't, for me, it doesn't move the chart.
01:03It doesn't move the needle.
01:04But disrespect, the fact that people put so much gravitas out of this group of people that pretend things, you
01:12know, and just because you played a doctor doesn't mean you are a doctor.
01:16Just because you played a hero doesn't make you a hero.
01:19And the people that listen to you, they really, no matter how much we talk, they don't know us.
01:26You know who knows you.
01:27It's such a small circle.
