reading looks world
I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.
beautiful men thinking
It's ironic that we've built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f - kin' concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below [their] belt and feeling hardships, to grow into [their] skin and feel confident within [themselves] and to feel the value of who [they] are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And I think that's such a beautiful thing.
thinking damage needs
Our mechanics are engineered so that we can survive quite a lot, but I think our need to be loved is so great that it’s the thing that damages us the most.
bad-day yeah humans
I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days.
character easy
I'm very attracted to characters who don't necessarily make it easy to be loved.
thinking getting-older sexuality
I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.
nice real responsibility
I think I have a real interest in filmmaking, and it's nice when I can go and do that sometimes. Then it's also great to not do it and not have the responsibility .
children priorities balance
I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work.
mom who-i-am skills
My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence.
awareness
I really love having an awareness.
mom mother son
I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.
aids
I want to be part of the generation that stops AIDS.
lines likes actresses
I've never been the kind of actress that just likes to show up and say my lines. I'm fascinated by what the crew does.
world
I don't want to live in a world with blinders on.
