He was so sweet to his actors. He'd ask us to walk through bogs full of leeches or run through tall grass barefoot, but he'd be right there with us doing the same thing. He was generous and asked our opinions and allowed us artistic freedom. |
I don't know why. I just cut it. |
I threw myself into it blindly. I put my heart and soul into it. |
I was sad but you know it's the first step in the right direction. |
It was like a roller-coaster ride because I would never know what to expect. . . . They would throw things at me to see if I was able to withstand the pressures. |
The casting directors would always tell me that I was too exotic or I was too Native American-looking and they can't do anything with me and they don't make Westerns anymore. |
They found beautiful sites in the woods. It was very real. |
They thanked me so much for coming in, except I definitely was too young for this role because they were looking for somebody 18 and older. |
Those are my sights of my future. |
Unfortunately, some phenomenal scenes were cut due to time, but I'm thrilled they'll be on the DVD. |
You can't really change the way people think, what their values are. It was acting. It was a job. It wasn't anything real, and it's trying to tell a story of Native Americans and Pocahontas. It's trying to be historically accurate. |
