Jamie Lee Curtis on "a more perfect union"

The Constitution aims for "a more perfect union." Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't "think there is a perfect union. I think there's an imperfect union, and I think that's what makes America so special."

The last minute of 60 Minutes is sponsored by UnitedHealthcare, coverage you can count on for your whole life ahead. To mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, we've invited leaders in the arts, science, and business to share their reflections. For this Oscar night, we asked Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis, how do we form a more perfect union? I don't think it's possible to have a perfect union. I think that was the whole idea. I think the whole idea was that we would always be doing this, because that's kind of what democracy's all about. It isn't binary, and it isn't calcified. It's supposed to be debate and question and answer. And that tumult is what brings you to a democratic solution. And so I don't think there is a perfect union. I think there's an imperfect union. And I think that's what makes America so special. I'm Cecilia Vega. We'll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes. [CLOCK TICKING]
