agree cause imagine justify labels means obviously order overcome realize situation unless violence wary
This movie asks, when is violence ever justified? And it makes us wary of labels like terrorism. Obviously most people, unless they're Gandhi-like pacifists, can imagine some situation in which violence is a justifiable means to overcome injustice. It makes us realize that it's subjective; you have to agree with the cause in order to justify the violence.

Now I know myself, I feel more confident about being more sexual.

I get no say in my weapons, I always get like a blow-dryer. It totally looks like I just came from doing my hair.
afraid amazing becoming character convinced experience express parents political violence

thinking knowing mind
I know a famous violinist who told me he can't compose because he knows too many pieces. So, when he starts thinking of a note, an existing piece immediately comes to mind. Just starting out, one of your biggest strengths is not knowing how things are supposed to be.

The best thing you can hope for, when you make a movie and you put your soul into it, is that people respond to it well.
thinking goal discipline
I'm not a perfectionist, but I like discipline. I'm obedient, but I'm not a perfectionist. I think it's important to work your hardest and be as kind as possible to everyone you work with. The goal, every day, is keeping focused on that.
religious new-shoes ballet
Ballet really lends itself to that because there's such a sense of ritual, with wrapping the shoes every day and preparing new shoes for every performance. It's such a process. It's almost religious, in nature.
opportunity thinking able
There are still vestiges of societal limitations on women. I tend to think that has to do with opportunities that are available - it says a lot that it's still sometimes the best opportunity for a woman to be able to advance herself.
laughing hip-hop want
Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance.
