people aids
Other than vaccines and finding a cure, most funding goes toward putting people on treatment. That's completely valid and I understand that, but it's never how we're going to stop AIDS.
passion world evolution
I can't live in a bubble and expect to come and work with Dior or go work on a movie and not have some kind of an evolution within myself and my own thought process and a passion about things or what's happening in the world. All of those things are the elements that make you who you are, and those are the things that sincerely come across in a photo or a commercial or in an interview. That's a constant thing for me.
real celebration moments
There's always been a celebration of what is that moment, whoever I am at that moment in my life. [It] is a very real way of looking at beauty.
real pride son
Pride comes from a place of real acknowledgment that somebody's actually living their life for themselves, and I want to be that example for my son.
dream real effort
I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
children son proud
Of course you want your son, your children, to be proud of you.
critics films nice respond starts travels wave word
If people, critics respond to the film there, it starts a nice little wave of chat, which for a movie like 'North Country' is really important. It's one of those films that travels by word of mouth.
country thinking people
I was raised in a country [South Africa] with a lot of political turmoil. I was part of a culture and a generation that suppressed people and lived under apartheid regimes. I don't know how you can come out of that and not have an awareness for the world. I think that if my life had turned out any other way and I was working in a bank, I would still feel this way about it, because there's a connection to humanity that to me is really important.
beautiful
[If you want to] ask the question what is beautiful? It's the life that you lead. It's the life that all women lead.
country believe thinking
I do think that when you're specifically working in a country like South Africa, you have to be able to be aware of the cultural truth of what people are raised in and believe in and how they function within their society.
beautiful men thinking
It's ironic that we've built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f - kin' concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below [their] belt and feeling hardships, to grow into [their] skin and feel confident within [themselves] and to feel the value of who [they] are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And I think that's such a beautiful thing.
mother good-mother
I can be a really good mother because I'm happy.
mother home thinking
My interests still are my interests. That doesn't make me a bad mother. I think that makes me a really good mother, because when I go and creatively satisfy myself and those interests, I come home satisfied.
beautiful brave trying
There are very, very few brands that will be brave enough to really, completely take a step back and not to try and control what is considered beautiful.
