Acting is not a lofty performance; it is simply the source of becoming and existing transparently. Acting, I find, is the art of frothing to the surface every raw and honest emotion. The moment an actor pretends, he loses his audience forever

We stalk the truth as poets, sensualists, a duality, limited insanity. We labor in our muse, carving alphabets of experience into our hearts.

Every one of us strives to be a better person; and if I am to contribute one thing of myself, it would be compassion.

Definitely routine is the bedrock of our relationship.
