Criticism is a surreal state, like a good drug gone bad. When it's bad you wish it would stop, and when it's good, you can't get enough.
Don't forget who your heroes are, what they mean to you, and why they mean that to you.
You have to like your character, because if you don't, no one else will either.
After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.
No apologies, no regrets.
I started studying at 26. Before that, I never thought of acting as something that I would ever try.
