quiet sometimes prioritize
Sometimes it was so quiet, its frightening. It really prioritizes things.
thinking way japanese-culture
I think that the Japanese culture is one of the very few cultures left that is its own entity. They're just so traditional and so specific in their ways. It's kind of untouched, it's not Americanized.
glad isolated
I'm glad that it was so physical and so isolated
song queens dancing
My life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.
matter life-is
It's a funny time, but I'm sure in any time you live in, you'd consider it funny because life is change and it'll just keep doing that. It's a matter of embracing it or not.
country nice mind
I don't mind where I work, it's really nice to be able to travel around and taste the flavours of different countries.
differences long progress
I have never witnessed poverty like I did in Haiti. The kind that is so deep and wide-reaching that it feels impossible to make a difference. But I found that lives can and are being changed. It may take a lot of work and time but Concern has, and continues to make, serious progress because they stayed long after the world moved on.
people scary want
People are so fearful about opening themselves up. All you want to do is to be able to connect with other people. When you connect with other people, you connect with something in yourself. It makes you feel happy. And yet it's so scary, it makes people feel vulnerable and unsafe.
character thinking play
I think I'm true to myself - you hear that actors have like plans. I'm gonna do this type of movie, then I'm gonna play this kind of character, and that'll get me from A to B. I've never done that. I honestly just follow my gut and I don't think you can go wrong with that.
desert brilliant hard
Being in the desert was brilliant and it was hard.
challenges becoming actors
There are actors who are really fantastically talented at being natural on screen and appearing to be themselves, but I like the challenge of becoming somebody else.
thinking different helping
Also, I think having a musicality about me that helps in identifying different things in languages and getting them right.
struggle thinking interesting
I think the most interesting thing about any story is how people change. That's usually a struggle, because change is pretty much an uncomfortable thing.
live-life character thinking
I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.
