I was fortunate to work with actors who loved music too. Just seeing what it would do to their manner and their faces was great and it helped give the story a little more soul.
greater helps hero literally process saves turns woman
Claire literally saves his life. And to me there's no better story to tell than how someone can process a knock. A hero is someone who turns their disappointment into a greater opportunity. This woman helps him on the path.
diversity stories helping
So many of us are hungry for stories with more racial diversity, more truth in representation, and I am anxious to help tell those stories in the future.
advice angels appear character expect generally gone help life people piece sends surprising
Life sends you angels sometimes when you're in need and, in my theory, it's usually never the people you expect to be there.

change dance discussion hudson kate knew name people playing terrible theaters toughest

I've done some of the same things that Orlando does in the movie, for sure,
