That is very different from how it used to be in the 20th century. Media was very one way. There's a small little industry. It broadcasted its message and everyone else in the world just had to listen. Now the internet is allowing what used to be a monologue to become a dialogue. I think that's healthy and actually restoring a more natural way.

To be honest, I sort of feel like 'movie actor' isn't of this time. I love it. But it's a 20th-century art form.
