chasing happens seeing start wrong
That's what happens to people, they start not seeing each other. They start not seeing the truth. And sometimes they start chasing the wrong thing.
love-is people together
I love being in the business I'm in-I do love being a part of a group of people that work well together. I love it when there's a connection.
people majority
I have loved by far the majority of the people I've worked with and the experiences I've had.
simple arrogance looks
There's a certain arrogance to an actor who will look at a script and feel like, because the words are simple, maybe they can paraphrase it and make it better.
stars thinking people
It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So, I really didn't think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star.
left
We tend to love things that are left of center anyway.
important cost facts
I take the fact that films cost a lot of money very seriously, but once in a while to have somebody say, This is a big scene, take your time with it, is important. That's John Sayles.
people speak week
It's usually, my people speak to your people and then they speak around each other and trade calls for weeks.
southern south
Anything to do with the South resonates with me, because I'm Southern.
years numbers england
It just seemed like a lot of my work centered around England for a number of years.
actors done cameras
There's just such a premium on hurrying, and the camera is the be all and end all, and the actors had better hurry up and get it right and get it done.
artist found bunch
I helped found Artists for New South Africa, but it used to be called Artists for Free South Africa. Alfre Woodard and a bunch of us started this.
dancing scary clubs
Dancing in the strip club, Not the dancing, but the being naked was excruciatingly scary for me.
horse drinking thinking
I love horses, and I love all of it. The sights and sounds and smells, the whole genre of Westerns - I love them. And I know they're rare for actors to get to do, and they're even more rare for women to get to do, so I really think I was drinking in the experience on so many levels.
