actors breathe gifted
I'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.
real rap gun
When you've been raised in care, rap music isn't just about guns and sexism. They're talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It's not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that.
action blockbuster huge
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
catholicism survived huge
Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
hate character thinking
I hate the analyzing thing. People say, 'Why do you think your character did that? I don't know. I'm not an analyst, and they're not in psychotherapy. Unless it's a film where they're in therapy.
fields film middle
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
without-music wells i-can
I can't act without music very well.
dream want who-we-are
Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.
children nice school
It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.
morning children abuse
I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems, if you keep yourself aware of it, you don't really have a day off.
men needs doe
I was angry but not at God. I feel that you are closer to God when you are messed up. Definitely. That's when you most need God, and God cannot control what man does.
children important energy
It's important to have masculine energy around your child.
actors boring shows
I don't get the point in a lot of biopics, they're boring. You know what's gonna happen. You're just watching actors show off.
