As an actor, I’m

As an actor, I’m limited to re-in acting someone else’s vision or portraying a fictitious character. Denzel Whitaker

If you think about portraying Americans, for example, in a Russian film, it all depends on where the American is from, if they went to school or not, and if they’re well-educated or not.

I think sometimes by

I think sometimes by portraying our lives as being too perfect, as being too balanced, we’re actually selling younger women a bill of goods that’s not true. Debora Spar
