For me, it's the reactions from the audiences that are golden. If they enjoy it, then half the battle has been won.

My father is an absolute inspiration and such a gifted filmmaker. I have learned and continue to learn so much from him.

The formula for a successful film is simple: good script, good direction, a dedicated cast and a fantastic crew. If you have all of these elements then the rest will fall into place.

It's not the skunk's fault that he's a skunk or that he gives off this really bad stink. If I am a skunk, I want to live as a skunk, I want to know what my truth is, to know the person I am without fear.

My family has been my biggest inspiration - they are true role models in my life and career and they always will be.

The only time to take the step towards change is now. Even if they're baby steps, start today! Consistency is important because you must make time to work on your goals. Even if there is little you can do, you must!

I take my time to get into the mindset of the character and say my lines. I really have to be the person that I am playing.
