Quote: "A software or a corporate job pushes you to do something you like․ You constantly tell yourself: I can't be living a life doing this․ You are desperate to do something else and that's how theatre happened․"
Quote: "Training is a job that's closest to acting․ It's a long play․ You have an audience; you have a performance; you have a script․ It's a captive audience; they want to believe you․"
