haiti kind
Haiti kind of gets a hold of you.
house anarchy kind
I had a house burn down once, and everything in life burned except my family, and it was so liberating. I didn't have a bad moment about it. It sort of reinvigorated my interest in a lot of things. I wonder if there should be some kind of anarchy.
thinking world kind
You need governance, but you also need a middle class, you need agriculture, they need to be able to export. I think that's probably the biggest issue, the job creation that could come with the kinds of things that Haiti has all the potential in the world to export.
magic innocence kind
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

If I win the lottery, I'm gonna direct three to four pictures every four to five years, instead of one - and there won't be time to act.

It's human to want to get your hands in it.

It varies from role to role and the type of the piece and the people you're working with. All those factors contribute to how you function on a movie.

There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that.

I'm always frustrated when somebody makes a movie out of a book and they leave the book behind, or the heart of it.

I live in the energy and rhythm of the character. To some degree, that's true of every actor I've worked with.
common form highest might stardom
Turning one's back on stardom might be the highest form of common sense. One that I would aspire to be more complete with.
craft later natural rather somebody
Craft comes into acting later rather than sooner. I was somebody who had to learn through a process - a natural actor doesn't need to.
In school, I was a genius of the year preceding the year I was in, every year.
blade courage dull time
We've let the blade of our innocence dull over time, and it's only in innocence that you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
