Sharon Stone is tired of canceling the culture.
The “Basic Instinct” star, 63, said this on Thursday when she joined SiriusXM’s “Just Jenny” and opened up to radio host Jenny Hutt, who asked Stone what she felt about celebrities and people in general “afraid to actually talk.”
“I think canceling the culture is the most stupid thing I’ve ever seen happen,” said Stone, furious, as she discussed her new book, “The Beauty of Living Twice”, which is scheduled to be released on March 30.
“I think when people say things that they feel and want to say, and that is offensive to you, it is a brilliant opportunity for everyone to learn, grow and understand themselves,” continued Stone.

While Stone told the dawn presenter that she tries to work with directors who understand the needs of an artist, she also understands why certain talents in the business attack to get what they want.
“Is there a case where you talk about fitting in here?” Colbert says as he points to Stone’s book. “You [have] a specific crack you want to atone or a crack you felt, ‘No, was that entirely justified?’ “

“I wouldn’t say much about myself, but I can certainly say that I see actors as brilliant as, perhaps, Christian Bale, who completely transforms himself into another person, whether he is playing George Bush or an anorexic or an OCD stockbroker, he makes a person different and people want to get into his business while he tries to completely transform himself into another person, “she replied.
