I'm always trying to find something unique or a project that I can do something unique in.
What really excites me in a project is when it goes in a way you haven't been before.
We do. Or re-create the ones we have, and project. My whole life is projection.
I'm not the kind of actor that gets crazy with [directors'] names, what draws me toward a project is the material itself.
One of an actor's fears is that your current project could be your last project.
The whole project of European Union is one in deep trouble.
I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.
I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.
When working on a project, if you put away a tool that you're certain you're finished with, you will need it instantly.
You can never really tell, it's kind of a red herring until you see the project I think. You just know if you like working with someone or not, and he does have a real sweetness about him, I think.
I've had fun doing romantic comedies, but I just can't anymore. There's nothing fulfilling creatively, there's nowhere to grow, nothing to learn from it or for yourself. I'd rather just be home with my family or write music until that special project comes my way.
I do tend to apply myself to projects that make me uncomfortable because usually when that happens I try to find a way of existing in the project that is more creative.
It's probably the most personal project [The Fourth Phase] I've done, which changed the dynamic a little bit.
One can't dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.
Because I was a woman, I was vulnerable. It was easy to vilify me and project me as a woman who was not following the tradition of a 'good African woman. '
I'm working on a project called Lemons, produced by Killer Films. The director has a great perspective on character development.
I have to believe that when I finish a project, that I will not only grow as an artist, but as a person.
I coach young people. I have a group called BTP - Broadway Theatre Project.
Generally there are always a few things that get left off for some reason or other, although the criteria for inclusion vary from project to project.
I know that I'm only as good as I am because of the things that I allow into myself and into my soul, because that's the stuff that I project back out.
