Kate Burton
There's something about that idea of looking up and hoping, and thinking, 'I'm good.' Some things, like show business, are absolutely subjective. People look at a TV show and think, 'I could do that.' And maybe they could do that. But they're not.

'Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, are you an Indian?' And he was cool. 'Yes. Yes, I'm an Indian.' Still didn't believe him. I had to test him to be sure.
