“I’d like to have the ability to do it however we haven’t been in a position to … I assumed I used to be going to make seven [seasons] however proper now we’re at 5. So the way it works out — I hope it does — however they’ve bought loads of completely different exhibits happening. Perhaps it can. Perhaps this can circle again to me. If it does and I really feel actually snug with [it], I’d like to do it,” the Oscar-winning actor mentioned on the time.

That man’s a complete piece of shit! However that’s OK. It’s so humorous to me as a result of … I simply don’t perceive why that has to right away equal some political perception. And I don’t suppose it does.”
