Not before the movie. But after doing THE INTERVIEW, I became obsessed with Katy Perry. And I actually love that song. In like, a real way. It's a great song.

To be completely honest - I did not receive one death threat from North Korea.
The coolest thing I got to keep from the set was just these pins - it's the only thing I took, as far as props, were these pins we all wore of Kim Jong-Il and Kim Il-Sung.

It was awesome. I was such a huge fan of THE OFFICE. And I actually had auditioned for numerous regular parts for that show, in seasons past, and I got pretty close one time, and I was really bummed when I didn't get that role, because I love the show so much. And then that final season, they called me up and offered me that part, and i was just so excited. It was a cold open, but it turned out to be a really great scene.

You know, I think it's fine. I'm totally fine with people of mixed race getting cast for an Asian-American character. Emery, for example, on our show, is mixed-race. And to me it's not an issue. He's so funny and so good in it that I would rather not have anyone else play that part but him. So I'm totally fine with it. The other way around, it's more of a problem - like Emma Stone in ALOHA. That's where it gets a little bit weird for me.

I think there's a lot of work to do. But at the same time, I'm really optimistic. I think it's only a matter of time before we have a superhero of Asian descent, in my opinion. Especially now. People are so conscious of this issue, across the board, and I think that consciousness - the level of it is unprecedented. People are realizing that it's good business to represent the world. So I wouldn't be surprised if it happened sooner.
