acting age passionate
I kind of realized I could sing, so I played around with that for a while. And that led me to acting in itself, which I came more passionate about by the age of 15.
kids problem kids-love
I love kids, so working with them wasn't a problem.
desert brilliant hard
Being in the desert was brilliant and it was hard.
country nice mind
I don't mind where I work, it's really nice to be able to travel around and taste the flavours of different countries.
quiet sometimes prioritize
Sometimes it was so quiet, its frightening. It really prioritizes things.
live-life character thinking
I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.
long doe television
I grew up watching a lot of American television and so the American sound has been in my psyche somehow for a long time and is quite familiar and so that does make it easier.
married being-married felt
I like being married, but it was never something I felt I had to do.
differences long progress
I have never witnessed poverty like I did in Haiti. The kind that is so deep and wide-reaching that it feels impossible to make a difference. But I found that lives can and are being changed. It may take a lot of work and time but Concern has, and continues to make, serious progress because they stayed long after the world moved on.
glad isolated
I'm glad that it was so physical and so isolated
fans violence
I've never really been a fan of violence.
kids thinking appreciate
As far as kids go, at an early age they have to develop a sense of individuality. It's just something that everyone goes through. But I think the older I get, the more I appreciate the fact that we really are just so connected.
covered dirt hot imagine people
We were just covered in dirt the whole time. It was so hot - and that was in winter. I can not imagine what it's like in summer and how the people who actually live out there survive.
cameron wardrobe
Cameron and I actually do wear the same size. It made it very easy for the wardrobe department.
