I never know what my next move will be in Hollywood. It`s such an unpredictable town. People get jaded and lost and I`ve been able to stay a float. I think the next logical step in my career would be to start my own filmmaking empire like (Harvey Weinstein) and (Bob Weinstein) did so many years ago. I think if only the unions weren`t so strict in Boston, I`d set up shop there and make films of a certain quality you don`t see represented these days. I`m full of ideas and dreams.

I noticed, while talking with other actors, that they often let ambiguity float. I don`t like ambiguity, it`s dangerous. I need distance. I also think that the result would prevent the audience from identifying to the characters. If you feel the things too strongly, you simply close the doors.

- Olivier Martinez

"Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, `Oh my God, you`re insulting me.` That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, `We`re here, we`re queer!` -- that`s what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride."

It`s a giant melting pot of the people that I`ve met over the last couple years. I think the production is a lot more pointedly stripped-down (than Rilo Kiley). I kind of wanted to let the songs just exist and let the voices tell the story, rather than the guitar and production. I kind of wanted the songs to just kind of float around.

After meeting with Louisiana officials last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson said, quote, `Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response.` He continued, quote, `I`m not saying that myself.` Then I`ll say it. If the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water, forcing many to steal for mere survival. Their bodies would not have been left to float in putrid water. They would have been rescued and relocated a hell of a lot faster than this. Period. I mean, reporters and crews are getting to stranded people, and government and military agencies can`t? Why don`t the networks run FEMA? When I saw pictures of black people taking things from stores, my first thought was: `How are those Nikes necessary for your survival?` And then it hit me: People need shoes and clothing. Some escaped the floods with just the clothing on their backs. We have American citizens, not `refugees` from an underdeveloped country, waiting for food, water, shelter, and electricity for four, five, six days.

- Nancy Giles
