“As your journey goes on, you're continuously learning from everyone.”

“15 people in a room looking at you with no clothes on - that's a little weird.”

“It's cool to be nervous, and how the nerves come out sideways. That's why some actors scream their heads off, or it comes out in their hair.”

“Imagining what a character will do in a given situation - it's like an equation, and working it out is a marathon rather than a sprint.”

“The worst costume is when you don't have a costume.”

“I never went to drama school. It's a brilliant thing for the right type of person, but I threw myself in the deep end.”

“I hate horror movies. I get really scared, and I don't want to be scared. I don't know why, but I'm one of those people who gets frightened and can't go to sleep.”
