thinking people empathy
I'm not a fan of justifying bad behavior or justifying why people are the way they are. I think that's a cop out. I don't have a lot of empathy for that.
culture accents lost
I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
hunger feels stills
Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.
mom growing-up mistake
I want my son to grow up with a mom that he could see and look at her life with all the mistakes and with all the failures and all the flaws and say, "My mom lived an authentic life. That was the life she wanted to live."
want shut-up you-choose
You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.
girl jobs hate
We just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way.
character discipline needs
You have to discipline yourself and not carry the character with you. You need to switch it off and take time to re-energize.
thinking pressure wheels
I like being a cog in a wheel. I like being a small aspect of a much bigger thing, and I think my interest in that takes the pressure of myself.
jobs love-is actors
My job as an actor, and the part of my job that I love is the transforming-and-becoming aspect of it, and so it doesn't become about me anymore.
real dark humanity
Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them "dark films" it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.
character play
You can live vicariously through the characters you play.
girl playing-dress-up hey
Hey, I'm a girl, and we like to play dress-up.
real pride son
Pride comes from a place of real acknowledgment that somebody's actually living their life for themselves, and I want to be that example for my son.
people trying despise
There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something that they're not.
