The Gone Girl star spoke of her support for Sanders in an interview with Marie Claire, telling the magazine, “I guess it’s just how I want to see this country run.

But aside from that, I also think that because Bernie is not tied up with any interests, whether private or corporate, that he is able to make changes that I’d really like to see, whereas Hillary is not.”

Has that much f–king changed when anyone’s in office, whether it’s been a Republican or a Democrat in office, in our lifetime, anyway? I haven’t really seen this big, like, f–king change. Obviously some people f–ked up. [Laughs] That’s a long debate. My feeling: let the motherf–king business guy run it like a f–king business. And his campaign has been entertaining as s–t.”

It was the first time I sat down with a politician that long and it wasn’t ‘the party, the party, the party.’ All he was talking about was people. Quite frankly, I’ve never had a politician talk like that… His dad was a bartender at a bowling alley and his mom was a maid at a casino here in town. When someone mentions living paycheck to paycheck, he goes, ‘Yeah, I was raised that way.’ I think if you have a leader, you need someone who has experienced what people are experiencing.”

“When candidates began declaring their intentions to run for President, I started doing research and quickly landed on Ted Cruz,” the actor said in a press release. “I discovered a guy who has deep conviction for a set of principles and ideas I believe in. I like Mr. Cruz because he has courage to fight and take the flak from people who want to undermine those ideas. He’s not only unafraid, he’s anxious to engage these people in a dialogue that puts truth and common sense into the conversation. And then, there’s old fashion ‘leadership.’ As the campaign heats up, it’s clear to me that Ted Cruz has what it takes to give our great nation the leadership she deserves.”
