My long-term plans are just to get as much experience as I can in Australia and try to make my own films.
Well, I wouldn't say that this experience had any influence on my decision to do this film about Andy, because Andy was apolitical. Andy was never political.
I never wanted to be a film director but after this experience I really loved it. I would love to do more documentaries but it's difficult to find backing for them.
It feels bad when a film doesn't work; everyone puts in a lot of effort to make a movie. The positive side to failure - they make me work harder.
I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.
I didn't think I was going to be an actress. Everybody in my family was in films, and they succeeded so much, I thought, 'It's better for me to do something else,' and they agreed.
I wish that when we weren't filming, we could have full privacy. I wish I could live in a bubble and just be with my family.
I remember loving 'Braveheart,' and I still do! It was one of those films my family had on video and we watched over and over again.
Actually, when I'm not filming a movie, my beauty approach is really natural - I prefer a bare face that looks really healthy and dewy.
There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me.
Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.
There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.
Now that I've got some films under my belt, I have the courage of my convictions regarding acting. It gives me a leg to stand on.
I went to Howard University and majored in Film Production and minored in Acting. I turned down an opportunity to go pro in Track & Field to do this - I took a chance with this.
After 'Heart Skips A Beat' hit No.1, I barely had a chance to celebrate 'cos it was straight over to the judges' houses for the 'Xtra Factor,' filming in Greece, L.A. and Spain.
We like to make the Marvel comics films because they're fun. Families can go see them together. They're entertaining. They aspire to inspire, and that is cool.
My films are of paramount importance to me, the same as my family. That's not going to change. This is a balance I have to strike throughout my life.
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
I'd say working on television is much, much tougher than films. But television has a great connect with a live audience, which is a refreshing change for us actors.
