What shocks me is that so many people leave care and become homeless, and when you're homeless you get into crime, prostitution and drugs, and it is a vicious circle. That's what we need to change
lazy directors honest
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
change political needs
We're all living blinkered lives, and we're not seeing what's going on and looking to change it. I'm not saying that everyone has to make a political statement, but we need to be more aware of what's happening and why.
trust directors forget
Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance - but then they forget to direct you.

I am proud of what I've done.

I like to stretch my acting muscles.

I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society, something tragic or monumental has happened to them.
actors boring shows
I don't get the point in a lot of biopics, they're boring. You know what's gonna happen. You're just watching actors show off.
morning children abuse
I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems, if you keep yourself aware of it, you don't really have a day off.
children nice school
It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.
dream ideas people
The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.
dream want who-we-are
Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

I can't act without music very well.
fields film middle
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
