mom children believe
I don't believe in making five-year plans. I don't want to say, "Yes, I want to have children in the next five years," because I don't know. I've always known that I'd like to be a mom, but I don't want to live by a schedule. If I [did], I wouldn't be living in the moment.
country believe thinking
I do think that when you're specifically working in a country like South Africa, you have to be able to be aware of the cultural truth of what people are raised in and believe in and how they function within their society.
believe hard-work one-day
You get yourself out there and you work hard and you hope that word of mouth kind of carries and one day somebody will actually step up to the plate and say "I believe that you can do this."
way should believer
I'm a true believer that everything happens the way it should.
moving believe thinking
I don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson you learn to lift yourself up, to pick yourself up and to move on.
along believe change people
I couldn't change how people thought of me, ... I had to believe someone would come along and believe in me enough to give me a chance, and that's what happened.
care character films honest material
There's only so much you can do with the material you're given, ... A lot of films are very male-oriented, but this is a male-dominated industry. Let's not lie. I don't care what character I play as long as it's an honest exploration.
constant implement night people searching sleep truth ugly
People said, 'Oh, you're doing another ugly movie,' ... I said, 'No, I'm doing another film about real people, and it's not about ugly vs. anything.' It's about searching for that constant truth, and I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night if I know I didn't search for that truth and implement it. I don't know how else to do it as an actor.

The thing that's great about this story is it's not just about the first class action sexual harassment case, ... It's really also about this community and about people just trying to survive.
dinner ice trusting
We'd have dinner with them. We'd bowl, we went snowmobiling and ice fishing. And they started trusting us. They really wanted us to tell the story right.
choice life situations smooth start surprise swim understand
We don't go through life with it all being smooth sailing. ... We all understand situations where you know it's swim or drown. It's a choice you have to make, and sometimes we surprise ourselves, when we actually make that choice and start swimming, with how well we can do it.
