Don't talk to me unless you speak American. It's all the things you don't say that's below the surface and how it can bubble up.
It's a film that doesn't end when the credits roll. It's a discussion that we've heard out in the world many, many times, and it's great that it's just started a dialogue about things that people, on the surface, seem not to want to talk about.
They really need to come up with a clear definition - that's what this is all about.
It's shocking to see the kind of devastation that occurred there and to know it's still going on. I am working with Timberland -- a company I respect and whose pursuit of social justice I admire -- to inspire others to help bring a halt to these atrocities.
A lot of actors had reservations about the material and about Paul - not his personality or talent, but, with a first- time filmmaker, there was not a lot of margin for error. But I trusted his vision.
People saw the film and said, 'Wow that was terrible. I wish I had known.' Now you know.
All of their experiences were the stuff of epic films things they had to go through in those 100 days. It was amazing.
The fun for me is to mix it all up. I would actually like to do something as far away from what I've just done, just for my own personal joy and growth, for what I want to do.
