I think that it speaks to the fact that people really misunderstand what we’re about, and we’re not trying to vandalize anyone’s religion. You know, we are not trying to erase.

Johnny’s so sexy. Let’s just say that...
...FM: What is the best and worst part about working in Hollywood? LEG: The best part of it is that it’s very exciting and you’re surrounded by very creative, very interesting people. The hard part about it is that everybody works crazy hours, everything is really spread out—Los Angeles is not really a convenient city—so it’s a little bit more challenging to get together with friends. But it’s also beautiful all the time and you’re near...
