“The thing I like about acting is being able to lose yourself completely in someone else. I’m not that comfortable when I get recognized.”
“I think the crucial thing about being an actor is to be doing it.”
“Actors should not feel scared, about the fact that they’re scared. I think it’s a good sign.”
