“South Africa has immense talent that needs to be exposed to how the industry works. In the same breath, it doesn’t matter how much talent you may have but perseverance helps you to get your foot through the door to plenty opportunities”

“I don’t have a specific role that resonates with me because there were challenges in every single one of them. I usually sweat bullets prior to acting a role – I worry whether the emotions I put in are good enough or whether I execute it well, however, as I grow into the character I tend to love what those roles are and they end up holding a special place in my heart”

“The grueling journey of landing a role can be mentally and emotionally taxing but can be quite rewarding when you find the characters that gel with who you are as an actor”

“It’s a constant quest of discovering different personalities that walk the earth”

“For me, I am more concerned about the human behaviour and their story, something I get to explore through a script which I portray on the screen”

“Acting is the most unpredictable work a person can choose… acting is such a challenging career and somehow it doesn’t slow down despite the number of years you’ve been doing it. To be honest, I think that’s the intriguing part about it… I am always on my toes as I look forward to what’s next”

“Research is very important especially because we need to do justice to any given profession and roles we play”
