Music is a key part of the series; Quan seems to agree.
Were going to start the interview in a way that Ive never done before.
Natalie Holt is one of my favorite composers.
Thank you so much for that.Ive got to tell you this little story.
Before we saw him, we would hear the music as he made his way onto set.
So thats why I was thinking of starting the interview with this wonderful piece of music by Natalie Holt.
Would he play music from the score specifically?He would pick something different every day.
He loved playing music on set to help the actors get in the mood, and I loved it.
He would pick all this beautiful music.
Not only that, it also helps the cameraman and the DP.
If the camera is moving, it helps the pacing and rhythm of it.
Im fascinated by the question of how much O.B.
knows, and over how many years and lifetimes hes acquired all that knowledge.
They created him from scratch.
I immediately fell in love with him, and it wasnt that hard.
I remember the first day I walked to the O.B.
I looked up and, believe it or not, the name of the stage is Roger Moore.
When I read O.B., I realized that theres something about this character that Im familiar with.
I approached him as if he was a variant of Data fromThe Goonies.
Its been 38 years.
And to me, thats who he is.
set, they happened to choose the one thats called Roger Moore.
so much, because he has so much passion for his work.
Since youve re-entered the public consciousness, the multiverse has been everywhere.
What if Id have chosen a different path?
What would my life be like?
Or had I been with somebody else, or if I had taken different roles.
A lot of times, things dont always go the way we want.
And when that happens, you tend to question, Oh, did I make the right decision?
Did I marry the right person, or did I make the right friend?
Did I choose the right profession?
And the multiverse, in a way, allows you to fantasize about that.
You also worked on2046, which has its own interesting view of time.
You have to have dedication for continue your vision for five years.
I got a phone call from Corey Yuen, who was the action director onX-Men.
This was right after I couldnt get a job as an actor.
And thats where I met Kevin Feige.
He was so passionate about the Marvel Universe; he was like a walking encyclopedia.
Little did I know that we were going to end up working together again after 23 years.
I didnt know what it really was until I realized I wanted to be an actor again.
That passion of wanting to step in front of the camera was still there.
I didnt know if people were going to want me.
Im so glad I made that decision.
This question of Will I be happy?
He just wants to fit in.
He wants to be part of the gang.
He was never part of the Avengers, and he always feels like an outsider.
I immigrated to the United States when I was a little kid.
I was American, but I didnt look American.
So my entire life, I felt like an outsider.
I felt like I didnt belong.
And it was not until recently that I found my happy place.
Hollywood has welcomed me back with wide-open arms in the biggest way possible by giving me an Oscar.
It doesnt get any bigger than that.
People cared about him finally.
I think Loki is the ultimate hero.
Its not the what.
Because we all need friends in life.
I love how in episode five Sylvie asks him, What do you want?
What do you really want?
And you might see it in Toms performance.
He wants to be with his friends, because they care about him.
What do I want?
I want to make more great movies and television shows that can entertain people.
That it really inspired them to keep going.
The Daniels were very courageous.
Thats what I really want.
