How did you prepare for this role? (Talks) No, you want is funny about this role, is that all of the executives, because everyone hates Curtis. All of the executives go, I don’t understand why they hate Curtis so much. He is providing the opportunity for everybody. So it is funny to see, it is just funny to see all of this happening. To watch how Bill Condon puts this down. Cause it is a high risk. Because it is a musical. To have Eddie Murphy, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, knocks your wig off. I mean to have all these talented people but to have it work. You know a lot of times you have too much talent, not enough movie, or two much movie, not enough talent and he just put it together just right.

Yeah, come on. I think Motown and what happened in the sixties and seventies , we still look back to to find inspiration. Because I don’t think that there has been a time period that music has been that forthcoming with hits. I mean hits that people will sing for the rest of their lives. Of course the 80s we had hits, 90s, and even now but they are kind of flimsy compared to those hits we had back then. To see what Barry Gordy did and all the people did. Marvin Gaye and and and and James Brown. To see what they did back in that time is just incredible.

My sister did all the wigs and everything like that but it is funny to see yourself because you really are a different person. It is like old school acting. You are going to go in this closet, find some wigs and some wardrobe and walk out and do a play. That is what it is all about.

I can talk about them. I think Eddie Murphy too. I mean I just look at Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy, not just in this role but for everything he has done. To me, I know it sounds cliché and I’m just pumping up the movie but it really does deliver. Even Bill Condon, the director. I mean. I don’t know how, I don’t know how tough it is to take a musical and make it a movie and make it actually work.
