covered dirt hot imagine people
We were just covered in dirt the whole time. It was so hot - and that was in winter. I can not imagine what it's like in summer and how the people who actually live out there survive.
expected
I expected her to be a little more airy-fairy, but she's not. She's really grounded. She's a very matter-of-fact person, actually,
bigger filming handful job somehow
I was over the moon. I know it's just a job, but it's become one of a handful of filming experiences which has become somehow bigger and more important in my life.
character journey focus
I've never really been a fan of violence. I'm more into the characters and their journey and those kinds of movies don't really allow for that. It's a different focus.
thinking actors exciting
I think it's exciting to see actors do new things.
believe oneness way
I really believe in a oneness. So if I'm looking at somebody else, it's not in a narcissistic way, but you're kind of seeing yourself.
What I do affects others; what others do affects me.

believe thinking ideas
I think as with everything in life you've got to follow your gut. If you believe it wholeheartedly, then it's not going to feel like you're kind of pasting on an idea.
fans violence
I've never really been a fan of violence.
moving character play
I personally kind of yearn to play characters who are complex and who strike a truthful chord in me and who are challenged in some way and, I guess, who kind of move through those challenges.
married being-married felt
I like being married, but it was never something I felt I had to do.
acting age passionate
I kind of realized I could sing, so I played around with that for a while. And that led me to acting in itself, which I came more passionate about by the age of 15.
