Grind Quotes
-

That mental grind is the same, and this show has to be approached with the same mentality. Rest is paramount. Taking care of my voice and making sure I have the right foods in my body is paramount.

This is definitely boot camp for me all over again, and Broadway in general is a boot camp for all actors.
