They have their faces and their voices, and they're more complex than anything than even the AI is going to come up with. And then you take a bunch of people taking themselves and putting themselves in the movie. But essentially you take yourself and put it in the movie. What does it mean when you give a performance?

But part of what the movie is to me and to Roman, it has something to do with actors and this strange thing that they do. I said, 'You know, it’s a good thing.' It’s a little foreshadowing.
