Quotes: |
“ We’re taught that men shouldn’t cry, shouldn’t complain, and should just push through. From a young age, we’re taught to be in control and not show weakness. “ “ I’ve grown up with women who are fiercely independent, intelligent, and empowered. That has shaped who I am and how I see the world. “ “ Cinema to me is a medium of change. If you’re not trying to say something worthwhile, what’s the point of making a film? “ “ I don’t believe in success or failure being permanent. You keep working, keep growing, and learn with every step. “ “ There are many roles I’ve said no to that became huge successes. I have no regrets. If I didn’t connect with it, I couldn’t have done justice to it. “ |
