filmmakers job movies proven reflect taste year
It's our job as filmmakers to reflect the world right now, and this year has proven that you can make these movies and make them not taste like medicine.
jobs want able
I tend to, if I decide to do a job, want to be able to trust my director.
jobs character canvas
My job is to be a blank canvas & embody the characters that I'm playing.
mom jobs kids
If you were a single mom, there's no way to support yourself and your kids by working in a hair salon. It's about a woman who decides to go and do what was considered a man's job, but was treated quite horribly for it and decides she has to fight for her rights when everyone thinks she should just shut up and take it.
jobs life-and-love thinking
I think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.
jobs years bigs
If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.
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.
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.
chance few guess italian job worked
I guess there are very few actors that I've worked with that I would like to work with again. You never think you'll have that chance and, if we didn't do Italian Job together, there wouldn't be another one that could be right.
both community considered hollywood jobs justify men mine pick struggled survival taking terrified theirs understand women
Hell, I would be terrified if Hollywood showed up in my community and was going to pick a scab, ... The other thing was: 'How are the men going to be portrayed?' You have to understand what the men struggled for. At the end of the day, it was survival for both sexes. That doesn't justify the behavior, but in this community, this mine was the one thing they considered theirs and their fathers' and brothers'. The women were taking jobs in a community where there were no jobs to be taken.
break guys jobs mine mysterious quickly realized taking
The mine was kind of this very mysterious thing for all of the women, ... In there, they realized pretty quickly that they were taking jobs where there weren't jobs to be taken. And that these guys were going to try and break them down so that they would just leave.
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.
