Acting Quotes
-
I hate acting when I see it. I don't want to feel it, I don't want to see it, I want to be taken away with the story - I don't want the actor's ego in front of me. That's what I try to live when I do the work.

It's what I've wanted to do since I was a child, so a scene usually plays itself out in my head with me performing it.
