“Go, lions! Here we are in this beautiful, beautiful place, in this beautiful, beautiful day. It’s been a long time – 40 years – that just surprises me, you know. Things look a little different here. I would say the thing that looks most different is me,” said the actor.

You convinced me, ”he said Bacon in your speech. “I find it great to see this kind of commitment to anything. I also find it amazing the power this movie had to unite people and connect the basic ideas behind the movie – you know, sometimes, facing authority and forgiving people who are not exactly the same as you, and for defending your own freedoms and their right to express themselves, and for having compassion for others.”
