00:00 Congratulations, you're a nominee tonight. How does it feel?
00:02 Good. I'm tucking my hair behind my ears like yours. I'm copying you right now.
00:06 I feel like we have a very similar style going on.
00:08 It's falling on my face because I'm so tall with these boots.
00:11 Today's a celebration. Our album comes out in three days.
00:15 30 Seconds of Mars, a brand new album. Three days. It's been five years.
00:20 So it's a celebration. It's called It's the End of the World, but it's a Beautiful Day.
00:24 We wrote over 200 songs, whittled it down to 11.
00:28 We're getting close to it being out, so I couldn't be happier.
00:32 Very quickly, I wanted to ask, we're of course in the middle of the writers and actors strikes right now.
00:37 How do you feel about the current state of things?
00:39 Well, I support actors 1,000%.
00:44 It's important for people to be treated fairly, to get paid well, to be able to make a living.
00:52 Those are things that people deserve.
00:55 I remember when I was a young actor, I came to Hollywood and I got my SAG card, how proud I was.
01:00 How important that was.
01:03 In fact, I had insurance and I could fix my tooth.
01:06 I had a cavity.
01:09 I had a basic ability to live and take care of myself.
01:13 It was very important to me, so I support that fully.
01:16 Thank you so much. September 15th, we will see you.
