I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Joe may be on to something here.

Re: Good Actor or not?
Are we defining greatness by someone who is more of a character actor or a guy like tom Cruise who can just steal a scene by his confidence and professionalism?
Can be both, sure. Are you generally drawn to the likes of a Willem Dafoe/Jared leto/Christian Bale or does a guy like Tom Cruise deserve just as much accolades as some of the more eccentric actors who inhabit a role to the detriment of their own well being?
