Quotes
It’s such a special feeling, and I think that every actor in their life dreams to have content or shows that make people wanna go back for more.
I’m sure every actor has that moment where, when they are in the environment, they wonder: What would my Oscar speech be? What would my Emmy speech be? You watch the Emmys and you daydream, and you see yourself standing there saying something. Then you start thinking about who you’d thank and who you wouldn’t thank.
There was a longing inside of me that just wanted to play with this thing. I didn’t know how to articulate it. I didn’t even know I could study it.
Everything begins with yourself. You are the product. Actors, sports players — You’re a product. My physical is the product and I have to manipulate the self to achieve certain things; to act, to perform, to MC, etc. I have to mould this product. It begins there.
I’m a product that’s there to translate narratives, stories, and bring characters to the fold. Human journeys — their triumphs, weaknesses, losses, and wins.
