As a teenager, I didn’t want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.
Im so lucky to have the opportunity to work with some directors and some actors I wouldnt have dared to think I would work with one day.
