jobs fun thinking
I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.
growing-up land world
Part of what's cool about being an actor or being in this industry, frankly, is to be able to travel to distant lands. That's part of the deal. I always thought when I was growing up, "I wanna be an actor and go see the world.'
secret happy-accidents wonderful
I respect deeply that each project brings its own secret and wonderful gifts and happy accidents.
occupation want priceless

So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.
kind bustle thousand
I sort of loved the bustle of a thousand questions. Women are inherently kind of multitaskers.
