Джеймс Ганн - человек и пароход радужный единорог.

And then I had to meet with Victoria Alonso -- she was like the last piece of the Marvel puzzle -- and Victoria said to me, "You know, what are you afraid of?" And I was afraid of two things.

And I was also scared of bringing my dog to England! That was the other thing, because I had heard there was a quarantine, and I think Victoria liked me because I started to get teary-eyed at the thought of leaving my dog for a year. And she told me, "Oh, you don't have to leave your dog -- there're new rules. You can bring your dog." And I said, "Oh, thank God." (X)

Мне сразу вспоминается панель в Эпплсторе в Лондоне: And my girlfriend was standing next to my, crying, because she knew I was going to England and was very unhappy with that, but she's gone now, so who cares! I like the raccoon better! И собаку, видимо

Q: I've been impressed with how you've been doing your promotional duties for "Guardians" around the world for the past several months while still maintaining such an engaged presence with the fans through social media. Why is that important to you?

A: Listen, I make movies because I have a need to make movies. I grew up in a town called Manchester, Missouri, where I never knew anybody in the film industry. When I was a young man, I met Joe Strummer from The Clash at a record store. I went up, and I talked to him, and I said, "I'm a big fan. I just want you to know you really affected my life," and Joe started walking with me and talking with me, and he didn't really let me leave. He just kept talking to me, and that meant more to me than you can possibly imagine.

It changed my life. I mean, here was a guy who was, in my mind, a magic person, a rock star -- someone who was beyond me, that was not a human being, and he took the time to talk to me as a human being and nurture my dreams, in a way. I think it's really important for people to realize we're all just human beings, trudging through life, trying to figure out our thing.

Me doing that, I'm just basically goofing around on Twitter and Facebook and throwing my thoughts out there, and answering some questions from time to time, isn't that big of a deal. It doesn't really take me that much time. Most of the time I spend on Facebook or Twitter is in between reps at the gym. It's not like I'm spending all day doing that. Or, like, during commercial breaks when I'm watching TV. I think it's a pretty small price to pay to be able to actively engage with the fans. And I get something out of it, because I see where people's heads are at, what interests them today, what they are into.

I think there's a lot of film directors and actors, performers, that start to become successful, and after they become successful they become disengaged from the audience because they're living in a different world. They're driving their 22 Ferraris and not really understanding where people are at. I think just from being out there with people and talking to people that are going and doing whatever they're doing, it helps me stay down to earth. (X)

На самом деле это довольно длинное и интересное интервью про GotG. But who cares!
