40 years since making The Color of Money.
I had the privilege as a young artist, to have a general meeting with Paul Newman and separately with Martin Scorsese years before making this film, where they shared some of their wisdom on cinema.
Of course, I’d seen their films, but prior to meeting them for the first time, I set up a personal study course where I would watch their films in sequence from the beginning of their careers, up until that point in time.
After being cast in The Color of Money, I once again studied all of their films in sequence.
Having studied their work, then being able to see firsthand these incredible artists, the towering legends of our field, at work on set, I was able to observe their practical application in every aspect of acting and filmmaking from their point of view.
I will always be grateful for this opportunity and for the generosity that Newman and Scorsese showed me with their knowledge of cinema and insight throughout the entire process.
To Marty, Paul, and the enormously talented cast and crew, it was a pleasure and an honor to be part of this film with you all! I have carried this experience and knowledge with me my entire career.
One of the best things about living in Modern Urban Asia is that Christmas season basically starts in Early October.
All the malls already have the huge Christmas trees up.
Mariah Carey is blasting off all the H&Ms, so it reminds you to start amping the ads up for Christmas.
We should all be grateful for the incredible generosity of American women.
The sentences no one wants to read in 2036 are the following two lines,
"Artificial intelligence has become one of the most extraordinary inventions in human history."
"My daily life really isn't that different from ten years ago."
This is why I suspect this is what will happen.
Pro Natal Twitter will actually sit there and tell you that being Pakistan in 2026 is better than being Japan, China, Taiwan, or Singapore.
They will actually sit there and say population decline is worse than being an overcrowded country that can't provide jobs to its youth even before AI floods the global economy like a tsunami.
Why do they lie like this?
The most bearish thing about this entire affair is that a Nigerian billionaire is actually settling for a single white mother with like two children.
White skin is like crack for black men unfortunately.
I’d be happy if I was Tobey Maguire too, my children are about to inherit everything.
I said what I said.
