Sometimes it doesn't matter what people believe

Someone asked me whether it's a good idea to avoid movies with Scientologist actors, or whether anyone finds it harder to enjoy movies when they know a Scientologist is in a particular role.

I think it doesn't matter.

People believe all kinds of crazy things, for all kinds of crazy reasons. Some of our best friends believe things that we may find outrageous. Maybe even dangerous. But the things that bring us together as friends are much deeper than our beliefs: we are all people, on this planet, trying to figure this shit out. Maybe I got 3% of it and maybe you got 2% of it... but if your art is inspiring, maybe that comes from something deeper that we share as human beings.
