Q
& A with Actor Stanley Tucci

... But it’s actually a great thing to get a break from both
because you get perspective. You’re on a movie set and you’re
watching people do the job that you’ve done, whether it’s
an actor or a director, and you can learnfrom what they do right
or what they do wrong.
ROLL:
Do you have any favorites among the parts you’ve played?
STANLEY
TUCCI: You know how kids always say, what’s your favorite
color, what’s your favorite this, or that? My daughter always
asks me, but I have no favorites. I have no favorite food, no favorite
place, nofavorite anything. I like everything. And I hate everything.
ROLL:
I hear you’ve been to the Woodstock Film Festival.
STANLEY
TUCCI: I was there four years ago—maybe it was more than that.
I was on a panel with Liev Schreiber and Fisher Stevens and Martha
Frankel, and it was great. I’m a big proponent of any film
festival. They’re wonderful for a community—they employ
people, bring in business, and raise cultural awareness. And a lot
of times, the only way independent movies will get seen is on the
festival circuit. We always joke that you can make one movie and
travel around the world with it for like, ten years. I mean literally.
There’s a film festival every five minutes. I was talking
to Bingham Ray, he’s head of October films and a great guy,
and he said, you should make a movie about a guy who goes on the
festival circuit and just travels around the world for free. You
eat for free, sleep for free, they fly you….And you never
have to make another movie...
