Andrew Garfield says Kazuo Ishiguro told him that loving and creating art are proof that the human soul exists “I remember saying to him, I was like, ‘Kazuo, so what's it about? What's this book about?’ He's like, ‘Don't, Andrew, don't do that.’ He's a very polite Japanese Englishman” “And he indulged me and I said, ‘No, come on, tell me what it's about.’ He said, ‘Well, I was thinking about the proof of a human soul. I was wondering, how does one prove that the human soul exists?’” “And the answer that came was if a person is able to love and if a person is able to create art” “Those are the two things when in combination you go, ‘Okay, that's kind of unequivocal proof’” “And I think all people are artists and most people have the capacity to love”

Andrew Garfield says singing lessons for Tick, Tick... Boom! made him burst into tears every time he reached a new note Interviewer: “What muscle do you use differently when you're singing as an actor?” Andrew: “I remember doing singing lessons when I was preparing, and the higher I was starting to go and register it, every time I reached a new note, I just like burst into tears because it's so vulnerable” “It just is physical. When we're kids, we have the full range in body and in voice, but as we grow up and as we learn what works for our parents and what doesn't, what works for our friends and what doesn't, we start to put little parts of ourselves in the box and put on in the closet or under the bed” “And then what I found in trying to find the full range of my voice again is that the fear and the lack of safety I felt by reaching those notes high up that I hadn't reached since I was a kid felt really scary and unsafe” “It stored a lot of emotion. Stored a lot of grief. It stored a lot of longing. And I was like, ‘Oh my god, where have you been?’” “It was an interesting thing. It's like a physical thing that we store these things in the body”

Ryan Reynolds says he never had a Plan B if acting didn't work out “How lucky are you to have something in your life like that? Most people would die to be defined by one thing” “I can't say for everyone, but I know a lot of people who would kill to be in a position that I'm in, to be known by one thing. Like, hallelujah” “As you get older, you stop being agitated by that thing and you start going like, ‘Whoa, I'm lucky’” “Because all I thought about were Plan Bs, and I couldn't find a Plan B. So if I didn't do this, I'd be f*cked, you know?” “So I'm like, thank God I get to be a storyteller. And call me whatever you want, like an actor, just an actor, or just a whatever. I don't care” “But what Ken is describing right now, that's love. That's loving something. How lucky are we to love something?”

Ryan Reynolds says he learned how to be a “motormouth” by studying Dan Aykroyd as a kid “I studied Sam Malone in Cheers. I studied SNL. I would watch SNL the second I got old enough, which is only about seven or eight, where I could stay up that late on a Saturday night” “I would have my nose two inches from the television. I'd watch old episodes of it” “I would watch Dan Aykroyd in almost anything he did to try to speak as fast as he could, because he could speak so quickly and dispense so much information and it didn't sound like he was just rattling something off quickly” “So I really learned how to be a motormouth from him”

Ryan Reynolds says the loser of his race against Hugh Jackman has to wear the other’s superhero suit in Times Square Host: “Aren't you and Hugh doing something? I've heard about” Ryan: “To do a race in Valencia. I'm going to race him with Team Canada. I'm racing Team Canada. He's racing Team Australia. So this will be one very difficult to say. I'm moving for my own survival” “The bet though, the bet though is that the loser… So if I lose, I have to go to Times Square wearing the Wolverine suit with no mask and take all the pictures with all the people for as long as he decides” “If he loses, he has to get in the Deadpool suit, no mask, head to Times Square. Hopefully, I'm not washed in that suit either” “And he's going out there. He's gonna stand there for as long as I want. He's gonna take as many pictures as I want. And I'm gonna spy on him in a disguise from far away just so I can enjoy it”

Danyel from KiiChain says the only reason third world countries stay poor is the banks keep them that way "What are emerging markets, actually? Why are they always emerging? Why is it the third world? What keeps them third world? The banks do" "They juice them for way more than they should, they move money slow so they can operate and get more returns on that side. And that's just the law of the land" "The end of the story for us, the next phase of this growth and the evolution of what we built, is building the application on top of it, which is going to be the first blockchain bank for emerging markets and in LATAM"

Franklyn Wang says Liquid's trading fees are 10x lower than Robinhood at 7 basis points vs 65 "On Robinhood if you buy Bitcoin, you're paying a fee of 65 basis points. You're also paying spreads. On Liquid you're paying 7 basis points, which is about 10x lower" "Coinbase's fees are even higher. Coinbase fees might be up to 130 basis points for very, very basic trades" "So our fee structure is like 10x lower"

Roee from Fhenix says AI agents will manage your money whether you want it or not "There are all these people that have a company with an AI marketing agent, an AI CTO, an AI CEO, and a lot of Mac minis on the table" "If a CFO is heavily using an AI agent and the AI agent is speaking with his wife on WhatsApp and handles all his inquiries, and can do everything for him, then why not move the company funds on behalf of him" "I really think that we cannot run from this change. AI is going to manage our money whether we want it or not"

Jacek from Degen says "degen" will be mainstream in 20 years like twerking and rap "Rap and hip hop were very counter-cultural when I was growing up. You had Eminem stirring up controversy. Your mom and dad would be like, 'Don't listen to that, it's bad.' Now it's like pop music" "20 years ago, if you saw somebody twerking at the club, it'd be kind of weird. Now twerking is just for fun. It's not a big deal" "The word degen maybe has that degenerate connotation. But in the future, maybe we can change it. Degen's cool. Just like skateboarding, metal, all these niche genres - they spilled over into the mainstream"
