I usually try to look for something I haven't done before, a side of me that I haven't completely explored. There's a truth in acting, and there is a very real part of me that can understand that or can believe in that or can see the beauty of that or see the ugliness in that and the statement that needs to be made. So it's all kind of me.
This is a nice evening for a bunch of people who have all been doing good things over the years. It's a friendly group, ... Just to be a part of anything with them is nice.
People think that when a war is over, everything goes back to normal. But in Kosovo, the security situation remains questionable for minorities.
I'd love to adopt a bunch more kids, have a few and yeah just be traveling...
I am a working mother who has set goals to accomplish a lot in this world. I want my wardrobe to be beautiful, sexy and comfortable ? all at the same time. St. John is all of those things.

She's like ? she has gained 6 pounds. ... We are calling her chubby. ... Good Morning America.
Sierra Leone is still scarred by the war, but the people have invested a great deal of courage and hope in the truth and reconciliation process, ... It is vital that the government acts on the (Truth and Reconciliation Commission's) recommendations to ensure that history will not repeat itself.
I feel very, very privileged to be a very small part of it.
I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well, but is intensely rewarding. Particularly the chance to help draw out the best in young actors.
I think actors, because we're in the world of the characters and the movie, are more isolated, and it always really fun to wake up and be a family with the entire crew.
