Q: How did you prepare for this role? MR: “We based a lot on Marcello Mastroianni and the flamboyance and joie de vivre of 8 ½.”
Q: You have your own theatre company. Is that something you’re still heavily involved with? MR: “I hope I end up dying on the stage. It’s my deep love; I think that’s where I do my greatest stuff. Right now I’m just doing films because I have three kids to get into college and it’s expensive.”
Q: Can you tell us a bit about the project you’re directing, producing and starring in, Sympathy for Delicious? MR: “Sure. It’s a modern fable, a kind of satire on pop culture and religion with James Franco, myself, and Christopher Thornton, who is a paraplegic and dear friend.”
