“You shouldn’t speak until you know what you’re talking about. That’s why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I’m a f’ng actor! They hand me a script. I act. I’m here for entertainment. Basically, when you whittle everything away, I’m a grown man who puts on makeup.” ` Brad Pitt, 1997
Great quote, too bad he forgot his former logic. (”Oh but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now” (to quote an old song).
I have always been annoyed when Cher or Madonna or Martin Sheen or any actor presumes to wax forth on some war or political ideology. They should shut up and entertain. Acting/singing does not make one a political expert.
