“With Ninja Turtles, it was just a huge bummer. I was so proud of the movie and worked so hard on it and was so excited to talk about it and sit in theaters and watch it with people. I very purposely populated a lot of the cast with people I like and am friends with, and I was excited to see them go out in front of the movie. And so, it was massively disappointing and really weird that I couldn’t talk about it or support it in any way. And it’s nice to finally be able to. I recently did a roundtable for it. We’re doing screenings now. You know, I’ve had things that I don’t want to talk about — this wasn’t one of them.”– As informed to Lacey Rose

I really did not most likely to the best of our motion picture The Maker. At the time, the WGA had hazy yet unusually strong policies versus promo.

I was just liking the posts from my room, living the debut of my biggest show from my house. When it premiered, I went to Japan to hang out with my castmates. We figured we could still be together for this important moment. We watched the first two episodes, then I went back to my hotel. The day after, I watched almost the whole show with my family. I pictured myself giving a speech at a premiere. But I gave the speech to my family back in the hotel — ‘I’m so happy. I love you guys.’ Being with a small group of people very close to you, it just felt very casual. It really grounds you.”– As informed to Aaron Sofa
