[on Snowden (2016)] I had a very unpleasant meeting with Oliver Stone. I wish a better filmmaker had taken it on. If it had to happen, I wish it was a better filmmaker. I also realize that's the way Hollywood works. If something like this happens that shifts the zeitgeist, there's going to be films that come out. [2017]

[on Risk (2016)] Did I enjoy it? No, I can't say I did. Filming is always hard, and this was particularly hard. I knew Julian [Julian Assange] was going to be furious with the film, and I don't have any joy with that. I know he's polarising, but there is no doubt he's a really significant historical figure in the work that he has done, which has transformed journalism, and I think he understood ahead of many people how the internet was going to change global politics. (...) I don't want to have fallings out with people [WikiLeaks] that I have respect for. For me it's a tragedy. [June 2017]
Right after the Snowden stuff, I knew I was being followed by intelligence agencies. I felt really nervous about threats from the government, private contractors, intelligence agencies all over the world. There are a lot of bad actors out there. But I have to keep doing the work. [June 2017]
[on what's annoying about Edward Snowden] He can lecture. He can get a little bit talky, if you watch some of his public appearances, but that's not something that pissed me off. [June 2017]
[on WikiLeaks] I thought WikiLeaks was doing the hard journalism that hadn't been done for a long time post 9/11. The mainstream media had abdicated responsibility to ask hard questions of what was going on in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. It was crucial and brave journalism. I was also interested in the global impact it was having. So I was very optimistic about the project. And I remain optimistic about many things about the work they do and its necessity. [June 2017]
I hate "hate speech". Is that hateful?

(K.R.) JUSSIE SMOLLETT INDICTED ON 16 FELONY COUNTS
From NBC News:
“Empire actor Jussie Smollett has been indicted by a grand jury in Chicago on 16 felony counts after allegedly lying to police about being the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime. Smollett was charged last month with felony disorderly conduct for the allegedly false report he made with Chicago police on Jan. 29, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. In it, he claimed he was assaulted by two masked men who hurled racist and homophobic slurs.
“The actor, 36, who is black and gay, also said his attackers poured what he believed was bleach over him and put a noose around his neck. Smollett and his attorneys have denied the allegations against him.”
