When I was a young actor, I just didnโt understand how to function in this business as an artist. It is a business, itโs called the film business for a reason, thereโs money involved ... But on the flip side, now I do not let the business side of it rule either. Itโs a balance.

Once I just started working with people and projects I believed in, everything changed and I suddenly had a career that I loved and that I was proud of.
