QUOTABLES:

“If it's your passion and it's your calling, I believe that you have to open yourself up to a multitude of lifestyles and characters.”

“You need to be open and you need to be vulnerable and kind of surrender to the role. And so for me, sometimes that's very telling when an actor comes back and declines something just because it's not a personal preference of theirs or something that they are quite familiar with.”
