Damn good 4 hour interview. Thanks Ed.

I think this was my favorite interview. Acting seems like such a hard profession, and Edward helped me to understand what that sacrifice means.

Such an outstanding interview with such a great, intellectual, darling of a man. Many thanks to the ATAS for sharing this.
