Well, I think certain roles are chosen for us. The moment I read Pete Campbell I thought: I can do this, this is mine. And in Money, too. The truth is I turn down a lot of projects. If a character doesn't have some kind of internal struggle, it's no good for me.
It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work.
Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.
