I'm quite intellectual. I read a lot and I'm very politically aware.
I think that's not a question that one can answer accurately. I read a whole range of books, quite a lot of history at the time, and still do read a lot. I read very widely.
I was raised in a home where we grew up where we discussed issues. I've always been really politically aware. My wife and four kids are very aware. They make me more attuned to a lot of things I would not think about. Especially women's issues.
I like Baudelaire's sentences quite a lot. I read and re-read him very often.
Now people are really inspired to do a lot, and the fire got lit under our asses to be more politically aware and be more politically involved in our community and pay more attention to what's going on.

Growing up where I did, I came from a politically progressive family so I was aware of social issues, but it seemed like a very separate thing from film.
