DENZEL WASHINGTON: “I DON'T THINK THERE IS A SYSTEM”

evermendoza30915 — 2019-03-27 17:43:25 UTC

Mr. Washington, do you enjoy playing the bad guy?

As an actor in the theater you’re taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can’t say, “Oh, I’m a bad guy.” How do you play that?

Does it ever affect you personally when you explore a dark character?

No, for me it’s still a testament, it’s still a spiritual journey. I believe in God. I don’t fear man, I fear God.

Are you a religious person?

I’m not talking about religion; I’m talking about spirituality.

What’s the difference?

Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: “My god is right, yours is wrong.” Religion to me is the human condition. “If you’re a Muslim, you can’t be a Christian.” That to me is religion. When we say, “Oh, God’s not going to save you. You’re going to burn in hell because you don’t drink apple juice on Tuesdays and Thursdays” or whatever the madness is. Anyway, I’m sorry. I don’t have an opinion about it, do I? (Laughs)

It’s good to see you jovial since we rarely see you like this on screen.

That’s not true.

Well, you certainly don’t do a lot of comedies.

It’s just the nature of this business. First I was Biography Man. (Laughs) “Steve Biko? Get Biography Man! Malcolm X? Biography Man! Remember the Titans? Biography Man! Hurricane? Get Biography Man!” Then all of a sudden somebody slipped up and sent them Training Day. “Bad Guy Man! Get Bad Guy Man!” I think that’s just the nature of the business.

“That’s what I tell young actors: You don’t have to compromise.”

Do you often have to turn down roles because they typecast you?

Absolutely. My career is based on saying no. Sidney Poitier told me many, many years ago that the first four or five movies that you do will determine how you’re perceived in the business. So I was very blessed that the second movie I did was with Norman Jewison, the third movie I did was with Sidney Lumet, and the fourth movie I did was Cry Freedom with Richard Attenborough, for which I was nominated for the first time. I was off to the races. There were other movies that I could have done and I didn’t do.

Like which ones?

One of them I called “The Nigger They Couldn’t Kill.” It was terrible. They said, “It’s a comedy!” Yeah right. So I didn’t do that. They were going to pay me a lot of money and I really thought about it, but I didn’t do it. I waited and six months later I got Cry Freedom. That’s what I tell young actors. “You don’t have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait.”

“I think that the business is toughest on women, white or black.”

Do you resent the title “movie star?”

I’m a trained actor. What I’m called is whatever someone says and that’s fine, but I don’t walk around like, “Hey! I’m a movie star. Excuse me, can you get my car for me?” I’m just an entertainer.

LEBRON JAMES: “THE FAME NEVER GOT TO ME”

evermendoza30915 — 2019-03-27 17:45:40 UTC

Mr. James, have you changed much over the years?

I hate it when people say you've changed, but of course I've changed. It’s only growth; it's not a negative thing. I've got two kids, I've got responsibilities now, of course I've changed. It comes with growth. If you haven't changed, that's the problem.

What’s it like growing up in a poor environment and then suddenly getting a commercial contract for 90 million dollars?

It is definitely intriguing, but I think I was smart about things. My grandmother taught me before she passed away, “The good things come to the guys who are patient, who are patient and thankful for what they have in front of them.” I’ll never forget that.
“I stay humble because tomorrow isn’t promised and you never know what may happen.”

But 90 million for one contract is a lot of money, come on.

It is a lot of money. What can I say? But you know they make a lot of money off me too, so it's a business deal. Both sides are in the business and both sides do well. If I were building hotels people wouldn't think that it is so much money. Then you're a businessman and you're doing well. But if you play sports, then it’s like it's a whole other thing and people get critical. But it's business, that's all.

Eight out of ten professional soccer players end up broke at the end of their career. Do you worry that your money could all just disappear one day?

No, I don't think so. I've set myself up for life and we learn more and more how to make sure we're set for the rest of our lives. I never worry that everything could wash away now. I stay humble because tomorrow isn’t promised and you never know what may happen, but I'm in a position right now where myself, my friends, my family – we're set up for the rest of our lives.

MIKE TYSON: “IF I FOUGHT MIKE TYSON I COULD BEAT HIM”

evermendoza30915 — 2019-03-27 17:47:14 UTC

Mr. Tyson, what are your biggest regrets?

Well, there are not many regrets that I have, but there are a few things that I wish I could have changed in my life. Not many, but if I could sneak those few out, I would do it.

What was the greatest moment and the most painful moment of your career?

I never look at a high point in my career. I don’t look at it like there’s one definitive moment of my career and that is what made me. Everybody always says it’s the Spinks fight, but it’s very difficult to say that’s the high point – it only lasted 91 seconds – so it’s hard to say that fight really defined who I was in my career.

Can you explain the attraction you had to boxing? What was it that it gave you?

Some kind of bizarre spiritual thing. I always looked at it as if I was some guy, some barbaric king coming to conquer the Roman Empire. It was something I wanted and I was going to take it.

And one day that desire just disappeared?

Yeah.

Do you still love boxing?

I’m pretty disillusioned with it. I’m not into boxing that much anymore.

Why aren’t you into it anymore?

No excitement. Maybe it's just me. Maybe there are exciting fighters and I’m just not into it anymore. I’ve just detached myself from it somewhat, because it’s too personal being involved.

Don't you miss the adrenaline rush of walking into the ring?

No, I never want that again. For me it was a lot of trouble. I felt that I could do anything. The feeling of being invincible, I felt like I could walk down the street and do whatever I wanted. I was just too young for that; I wasn’t experienced enough to deal with that.

CHRISTOPH NIEMANN: “I DON’T NEED A BIG IDEA”

evermendoza30915 — 2019-03-27 18:38:48 UTC

Mr. Niemann, you once illustrated a pie chart of your daily routine with four hours blocked off as “Creative.” How would we experience those four hours in your head?

I hope that there’s something special that would come out of it — but with that idea, you’re also suggesting that strolling around in my head is something dramatic, that something is happening that is as entertaining as what ends up on paper.

And that’s not the case?

Actually, I can say that the steps that lead to my finished drawings are very unspectacular. It’s more like with a sculpture, where I chip away piece by piece from a stone and slowly get closer to the final form — to hopefully have an elegant form where the reader is in any kind of way emotionally touched. But creating never happens in those big gestures that the final product suggests in the end. It’s a rather boring film that plays in my head.

“Creating never happens in those big gestures that the final product suggests in the end.”

But there is a drawing of yours in which you’re surrounded by a lot of red, clawing at the table in front of the first empty page…

(Laughs) That’s really the situation sometimes! There is always that question about the writer’s block. It has a lot to do with routine. It has a lot to do with procedures, it’s a lot about language and signs. Routine is a language. I guess to speak fluent German, I have to know 1500 words, which means when there is a thought, I have to have all these words available at the same moment. This is a skill that you have to learn. No human has that naturally. Some people may have it a little bit easier, and that’s the same with pictures. It’s about the question, “How can I broaden my sight to see everything at the same time and on the other hand be so focused that I see when it makes a pling somewhere else?”

Did you find the answer to that question?

Well, at some point I just realized: this is just the way it goes. And once you realize that, life becomes a little bit easier, especially if you recognize, while talking to other people for example, that you are not the only one. But then still, that’s also been the reason for my new book. There are two things: on the one hand there’s the difficulty of writing, the process, the fight with insecurity, to create something new. And then of course there are all the other things that make an artist's life hard, those are different things. That’s kind of the basic attitude.
