I have to ask you this, you know, you've been very open about the fact that you have been
0:04
living with HIV, you're HIV positive since 2002, and that last year you got, and luckily
0:09
survived, cancer. How have these experiences informed, well, how have they transformed your life and how
0:16
have they informed the way you play the role? Greatly. Impact my life in the sense of, you know, there's a clarity of what really matters
0:28
and what doesn't, and what I'm going to put my energy towards and what I'm not going to
0:35
And not that the things that I won't put my energy towards are beneath me in any way
0:40
it's just a clarity of what is more important to me to accomplish in the time that I have
0:46
And playing Hamilton, his race against time and his imagining death, when those two, that
0:57
line happens twice, you know, it's the most genuine I think I've ever played a role in
1:02
my life. I mean, you can't escape, I can't escape the truth it touches within me, and it's a great
1:11
gift to be able to have that experience and give that experience and feel the audience
1:17
come with me on that experience as well
