At a time when around half of high-school students surveyed say that Rihanna "deserved" to get beaten up by Chris Brown, how do you think Mike's denunciations of Robin Givens and Desiree Washington in this film are going to play?
It's such an incendiary subject. I was shocked, by the way, at that statistic. I mean, it's one of the rare cases where what I would have predicted was so far off from what happened that it makes me feel completely out of it. Once you get into subjects where people's deepest personal responses to their own lives are involved, it's very hard to get any kind of sense of rationality, because who knows how close people are to doing things like that themselves, or are afraid of it happening or suspicious that someone's about to do it?
What do you foresee for Mike?
Mike, I think, has got a video game of some kind with Muhammad Ali that I'm sure people will get interested in. Eventually, I think he should work with kids who have backgrounds similar to his, because he'd be great with them. They'd look up to him.
