thinking people community
I've seen people talk about how they stopped polio, that was a generation that came together and said, "Let's do this." I think in the AIDS community we've become so complacent in that, it's like we just plateaued... We've completely neglected a whole young generation that is now highly infected.
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.
stars long people
A while back there was this fad where a big star [would get] a producing credit and you'd ask around, and people were like, "No, they didn't produce, they just took the credit." I was flabbergasted. So when I started, people were weirded out by the fact that I was like, "How long is our prep? I'll come a week before that." They were like, "We're not shooting for six weeks."
lying people hollywood
People always say to me, "What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies." And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.
differences people good-movie
I just want to make good movies. Honestly, the only difference for me with this stuff is that there is more people on the set.
kids people killing
Too many people have died so unnecessarily; AIDS is completely preventable, yet it's killing more kids in South Africa then everything else, and that's just not how it should be.
thinking people messages
I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.
play people brilliant
I have been working a lot, and I like it. And you know, it's hard for me not to. I guess I've been working a lot because I get to play with brilliant people.
thinking people domestic-violence
I think we're at a time where people just want to join together and cause change. People don't want to live like this any more.
kids people want
I'm happy for people who want to get married but it's not my thing. I'm extremely happy in my relationship and I would love to have kids.
makeup thinking people
I have very talented people dress me and put my makeup on, stuff like that. But I do love that look, and I think it's maybe because I grew up on that old glamour.
thinking careers people
And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.
men thinking people
I love fragrance for the pure fact that I think it's something that women utilize in a way to make themselves feel good, and I think this idea that we do it for men or for other people is such a misconception.
flower thinking people
I think people say women come into their prime in their 40s. And then for some reason our society just wants to go... it's like a dead flower.
