Sometimes you like the personal adventure implicit in the making of a film, and sometimes you like your part in a film, and sometimes you like the final result.

I went to see Oliver Stone's 'Heaven & Earth,' which I thought was a wonderful movie, but I walked out because I was so moved. It was too painful to watch.

I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

I'm a gypsy: no education, no schooling, nothing. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care about being a hero, a role model, a champion.

I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it's what children bring into school with them.

Education was a big focus for me, before the show and during the show. I applied to four or five colleges and universities and got into three and was planning on going.

What I find is really interesting is the Ear-Nose-Throat doctor thing, which I know would take a lot of work and education, but it's something that really interests me, because it's something that helps people who've had the same problems as me, with the whole hearing and nose congestion and problems with your voice.
