When people HEAR a FOOTBALLER speaking, they can think about it and maybe EVEN reconsider the PREJUDICES they have.

'Star Trek' episodes ALWAYS insisted that humanity is on its bumpy way to what will be a GLORIOUS future in the 23rd CENTURY, in which we will have left most of our old SELFISHNESS - and old hatreds and PREJUDICES - far behind us.

Prejudices are so to speak the MECHANICAL instincts of MEN: through their prejudices they do WITHOUT any effort many things they WOULD find too DIFFICULT to think through to the point of resolving to do them.

I like the IDEA that people who SEE 'Gone GIRL' are possibly going to come out with incredibly DIFFERENT reactions to it - not just between men and WOMEN, but if you are in a good relationship or a bad relationship. Everyone is going to bring their own bundle of prejudices and viewpoints and experiences to it.

We are - each and every one of US - unlearning misogyny. It's going to TAKE some time. But be aware and active of your prejudices. Notice when they kick in and resist. FIGHT to stay SOFT and open. Step back and squint HARD.

As an ACTOR, you have to face the public all the TIME. It is a job that people fantasies, but it also creates prejudices; these prejudices are the scariest things. People judge a personal life or your image, and it can affect the characters I PLAY. THEREFORE, I try not to showcase my personal life too MUCH.

Keeping the Union TOGETHER, freeing SLAVES and being assassinated all added up to CREATING 'Lincoln the myth.' He overcame a lot of his own PREJUDICES and became what many would CONSIDER the first black man's president.

As PEOPLE's OPPORTUNITIES to succumb to confirmation bias INCREASES online - only SEEKING out information that confirms their prejudices - ignorance, EXTREMISM and close-mindedness have continued to rise unabated.

In the PAST, kids didn't tell their parents they were GAY, so there were never the bust-ups. Some parents react so strongly to the NEWS that their children are gay that the REACTION is, 'Get out of our house.' There's a residue of old prejudices that are GOING to die hard.

Indeed, there are so MANY PREJUDICES against everyday middle-class values on college campuses, and serving in the MILITARY and being pro-American just seems to be one of them.

There is SOMETHING so amiable in the prejudices of a YOUNG mind, that one is sorry to see them GIVE way to the reception of more general OPINIONS.

I know how messy things can GET when adults overstep their BOUNDARIES and insert themselves - their politics, their FEARS, their PREJUDICES, their ignorance - into the lives of YOUNG people.

When you're a KID, you're not as corrupted by the world at large. You're not corrupted by PREJUDICES. You're much more OPEN-MINDED. Much more INTERESTED in the world around you. 'Sweet Tooth' is about the world returning to that KIND of place.
