«My mother says that I declared that I wanted to be an actor when I was 15 years old and why that person asked or said that. I remember when I was acting in school or doing Shakespeare, that feeling of being free was a game. It was fun. Make believe, but reality, connection, a group, collaboration … It is shared. You are in communion, you tell a story. I love stories. Stories help us to contextualize the world. I love what happens after someone says action. So we start… We are in the moment. It’s fun. So I’m really grateful that I can earn a living and try to have a career with something I love. “
